Religious Education Overview

Religious Education

Religious Education at St. Joan of Arc is a weekly program that helps family members grow as disciples of Christ together. We are excited to walk with parents as they live out their vocation to center their family on Christ. We look forward to supporting parents in helping their children learn the truths of the Catholic faith in order to grow in relationship with Jesus within the context of the parish community.

Things to Note

Why Parent Classes?

The Church stresses the importance of a parent’s involvement in their children’s religious formation. In fact, the Church tells us: “Parents are the first and most important educators of their children, and they also possess a fundamental competency in this area: they are educators because they are parents.” Therefore, it is the parents’ responsibility to introduce their child to the person of Jesus Christ and to help foster an intimacy with Him as they grow and mature. St. Joan of Arc is dedicated to assisting parents in fulfilling this most important of tasks.
