Religious Education

Dear Parents,

I would like to welcome you and your child to the new Religious Education program at St. Louis. We will be making use of an online program, My Catholic Faith Delivered, to help children learn about the beautiful teachings of our faith in an interactive, fun, and flexible format. This program is being used in over 3,400 parishes around the world, and has been found in conformity with the Catechism by the USCCB's Subcommittee on the Catechism. The lessons are accessible from any internet-capable device, making it easier for busy families to remain committed to religious education. This also gives you the opportunity to be engaged with your child as he or she learns more about our faith. Sharing this time with your child will create a deeper and more meaningful connection to the Church.

Once or twice per month, students and their parents will be meeting at St. Louis for face-to-face sessions. This will help keep everyone on track and allow for the students  to interact with their peers in the parish.

One of the keys to making this program work well will be communication. I will be available by email (dre@stl.ptdiocese.org) or phone (850-262-8157) to answer any questions or concerns. Announcements for the face-to-face sessions will be on the parish website and in the parish bulletin.

Thank you for trusting us to help you with your child’s religious education.

Pax Christi,
Catherine Anderson Smith
Director of Religious Education
