St. Mark Catholic Church
Religious Education

Welcome to St. Mark’s Parish. The Religious Education program mission is to provide an approach to learning that teaches the child, and welcomes you, the parents, into the program so that all together, we can help the child to develop a close and personal relationship with the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Home, school and parish are all a part of the child’s life. The child’s growth includes all aspects of the body and mind, heart and spirit. Whatever your own unique role is in relation to the child, all of us are involved in that child’s life. Here at St. Mark’s, we will assist the parents in their role as teacher of their children by offering education in the form of parent meetings, sending home information letters, and encourage you, the parent, to spend time with your child talking about the weeks lesson or rereading it to your child.

We are using the Faith and Life series published by Ignatius Press. The textbooks contain thought provoking activities, vocabulary words, and easy to understand explanations of the foundation of our faith.

Each and every parent has the dignity of being the original and irreplaceable person in the child’s religious journey. The teachers, administrators, aides, and volunteers play a supporting role to you, the parent. We are here to assist you. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call at 469.7835. May God Bless you and your families.

Sincerely,

Cathy Roach
Director of Religious Education
