NOTICETo all our 10th grade Confirmation candidates: As of November 8th a date for the celebration of the sacrament of Confirmation has not yet been scheduled. We request and usually receive a date in the fall of each year, however the bishop's office has not yet scheduled a date for those who completed the 2010-2011 formation/preparation year. As soon as we receive notification, we will contact families by phone, email, and church bulletin.

Through the collaborative effort of the entire church community, we the teachers, staff, and parents of the St. Mary's Religious Education Program will strive to faithfully proclaim and live the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We will teach our children about the person and mission of Jesus, thereby inspiring and motivating them to form a deeper relationship with God under the guidance of the Roman Catholic Church.

Through this effort and by constant prayer, we hope that our children will grow into mature Christians who consciously and actively strive to become more like Jesus in every way.  In doing so, they will affirm their supreme dignity as children of God and recognize their mission along with the entire Christian community to celebrate the Good News by evangelizing, catechizing, and ministering to all succeeding generations to build up the Kingdom of God.
