Religious Education, or catechesis, is a life-long process that nourishes, forms, and deepens the faith one receives through the ministry of the Church.
The goals of catechesis are to:
Teach about the form and meaning of the liturgy and the sacraments and help individuals prepare their minds and hearts to enter into these mysteries of our faith.
Teach the moral teachings of the Church which are the fulfillment of the Commandments.
Teach that prayer invites individuals into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Teach that the human person needs to live in society, a requirement of human nature.
Teach that all Christian service is an expression of love and is performed by Christians for the purpose of building up the Kingdom of God on earth.
Family Faith Formation - We are very excited to introduce Family Faith Formation, the Religious Education program for 2020-2021. Family Faith Formation is a different way to learn the catechism of the Catholic Church. As directed by the Diocese of Beaumont, because of Covid-19, we are not able to have in-person classes until further notice. Family Faith Formation will take the place of Religious Education Classes this year.
R.C.I.A.- Is for anyone interested in becoming Catholic and for Catholics wishing to complete their initiation into the Church through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Holy Eucharist.
