Mission Statement
The mission of the St. Therese of Lisieux Religious Education Program is to aid and support parents as the primary religious educators of their children. We strive to help the students journey towards a deeper understanding of our Catholic religious beliefs and traditions.
DEAR PARENTS & GUARDIANS: We share in a sacred responsibility, the faith formation of your child, a formation which first began when you brought your son or daughter to the Church for Baptism.We, the catechetical community of St. Therese of Lisieux are, first of all, committed to you, our parents and guardians, as the primary educators of your child, by doing what we can to aid, supplement and reinforce the teaching you are doing at home.
Secondly, we are committed to our students and the desire to enrich their faith journey by sharing through personal witness our time, faith and talents. We strive to bring to the children an awareness of God's love for them, a more complete and in depth understanding of the beliefs and traditions of our Catholic faith, and our shared responsibility to live out these Christian beliefs in service to others.
Together, let us form a supportive and nourishing partnership to help our children most fully realize their faith potential, with the help of Jesus, the first catechist, and the guidance and wisdom of the Holy Spirit.
Yours in Christ, Lois PagnozziDirector of religious Education.
