This program provides catechism for students attending non-Catholic schools (public or private). All children not in Catholic schools should attend ALL these grades. Classes for Grades 1-8 are held each Monday evening for one hour beginning at 6:30pm at St. Vincent School from September until May.
This program is run in conjunction with our priest in-residence, Fr. Peter Watters and our 10 teachers - all of whom are volunteers from our parish, dedicated to helping these children learn their faith. We have begun an information/video /discussion group for the parents of the children who come to the classes, that are offered while the children are in class. Parental involvement is encouraged. Newcomers to the parish can contact the Parish Office for more information.
