Overview
We at the parish of Holy
Eucharist, look upon religious education as a total experience involving not
just the child, but also parents, families, catechists, and priests that
form our parish community of faith. We believe that religious formation is
getting to know Jesus and learning what is expected of one who chooses to
follow Him in the Catholic tradition. Our program reflects an integrated
learning experience, composed of learning catechesis, prayer, sacramental
preparation, traditional Catholic doctrine, liturgy, and community building.
Through the light of faith, we hope to develop in those entrusted in our
care a deeper relationship with God.
Our catechists are dedicated
Catholics who have generously donated their time, efforts and talents to
spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to our parish children. Many have been
teaching in our program for a number of years and by their fine example
provide role models of Christian life in action.
The Church teaches that
parents have the primary right and responsibility for the religious
formation of their children. "Though the influence of peers and adult
catechists is important, Catechetical programs are not intended to supplant
parents as the primary educators of their children. Parental involvement in
catechetical programs is essential." The faith we posses is a gift from God.
It is our responsibility as parents to nurture the faith of our children.
If the child does not see
religion in action in the home and is not attending the Saturday or Sunday
Eucharistic Celebration, then he/she will not recognize it in class one hour
and fifteen minutes a week. In order to develop the faith life of our
children effectively, we must diligently work on expanding our own
relationship with God.
