Children will experience our Catholic-Christian faith though daily classroom formation as we work to help them develop, maintain, and support their Catholic identity and grow in God’s love. We encourage and support children to be actively involved in the learning process, to experience a variety of developmentally appropriate activities and materials and to pursue their own interests in the context of life in the community and the world. We believe play is the work of the young child. It is through play children develop in all learning domains: spiritual, cognitive, social, emotional, and physical. We support parents as their child’s first and most important teacher and work to build a spiritual learning community based on respect and social justice. Youth Ministry- Comprehensive Faith Formation For Junior High & High School The formation process for young people must be constant and active, capable of helping them to find their place in the Church and in the world. Consequently, youth ministry must be one of the primary concerns of Pastors and communities. John Paul II, Ecclesia in America (EA) #47 Youth Ministry Now is the time and we have the place.
