Elementary Religious Education

We help our children and their families get to know Jesus and become friends with Him!

“At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, "the only Son from the Father...full of grace and truth," who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever.” (John Paul II, CT 5)

The mission of St. Mark Faith Formation (Religious Education) is to invite our participants—children, youth, and parents—into communion with Jesus. Through a variety of programs, including classes, faith sharing groups, gatherings, missions, retreats, service projects, and special events, we encourage our parishioners to know, love and serve God.
