Dear Parents/Guardians,

At your child’s Baptism you agreed to these important words, “You have asked your child to be baptized. In doing so you are accepting the responsibility of training him/her in the practice of faith. It will be your duty to bring him/her up to keep God’s commandments as Christ taught us, by loving God and our neighbor. Do you clearly understand what you are undertaking?” Your weekly attendance at Mass, your family prayer life, your discussions, attentiveness and interest in your child’s religious education all create and imprint that will last a lifetime. Your child’s heart and mind are primarily influenced by YOUR example and YOUR acceptance of God’s gifts and graces.

The religious education program at St. Joseph’s Parish is designed to give a dual dimension of both doctrine and practice. Our goal is not only that the children learn and believe the precepts of the Catholic faith but LIVE it as well.

Let us join together in supporting the children on their spiritual journey. As Coordinator of the St. Joseph’s Religious Education Program, I am here to serve you and your child in any way possible. Please feel free to contact the staff with any questions or concerns you may have. Let us continue to pray and support one another in this sacred endeavor.

Sincerely in Christ,

Deb Doris
Religious Education Coordinator
