Religious Education for Preschool, Kindergarten, and Elementary

The mission of Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church Religious Education program is to partner with families to help build a foundation of faith, from which our families will experience a knowing and loving relationship with God and the Roman Catholic Church.

Objectives:

• Message/Word: helping families toward a deeper personal understanding of our Catholic faith by providing guided opportunities for families to receive Jesus’ message of love through Scripture, Tradition and History of the Catholic Church.
• Worship/Prayer: assisting families with spiritual development and prayer by immersing them in a variety of communal prayer and worship experiences that involve people in the sacramental life of the Church.
• Family: creating a partnership where all family members feel comfortable sharing their time, talents, and faith.
• Community: nurturing meaningful relationships between families, the parish, and the public and encouraging everyone to take responsibility as leaders in parish and community-wide programs.
• Service and Justice: empowering families to work for social justice by addressing human suffering, serving those in need, pursuing peace, and defending the life and dignity of all people.
