"Train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old, he will not depart from it." ~ Proverbs 22:6
The Religious Education program at St. John the Baptist is focused in molding Disciples of Christ through lifelong religious education. We center deep in the truth of the Catholic faith to cultivate and encompass the life of Jesus, the Word of God, and the holy Sacraments. We promote and encourage faith growth at home and particiapation in the church. We strive to walk with the families of our parish on their faith journey to help them grow in holiness.
The first catechists in any child’s life are the family members with whom he or she lives. What happens at home – both positive and negative – provides lessons for life. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home or “domestic church” provides a real place in which a child learns to live his or her faith as well as understands it.
"There is no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." ~ 3 John 1:4
