Youth Religious Education (General Info)

Mission Statement:

St. Martha’s Religious Education Program is an nine year initiation into the truths of the Catholic Faith, the Sacraments, Christian living, Prayer, and the Liturgical Life of the Church. Each year is a building block in the overall understanding and living out of our Catholic Religion. St. Martha's Parish is firmly committed to teaching the Catholic Faith with loving obedience and fidelity to the teaching authority of the Church. Keeping this in mind, the Religious Education curriculum is not enough to fully form your child into a practicing and devout Catholic. Family prayer time as well as regular reception of the Sacraments (Sunday Mass/Regular Confession) is crucial to the spiritual development of your child and your family. The Family that Prays Together Stays Together. Parents should never underestimate their role as the primary teachers of their children in the Catholic Faith. St. Martha's Religious Education Program is designed to assist families in this process of Faith.

Attention St. Brendan and St. Martha Parishioners

Please feel free to contact us.

We look forward to growing as a family of faith.

Please note: Families must be registered at either parish to take part in the Family Gatherings and/or Confirmation Classes.

Here at Saint Brendan and Saint Martha, we take a family approach to Faith Formation (Grades 1-7). Families gather once a month together at Saint Martha’s Church (new location) and then parents work with their children at home for the remainder of the month, with activities and lessons to help them grow in faith together.

Youth in Grades 8 & 9 gather together Sunday mornings (with a Monday night option) at Saint Brendan for Confirmation Preparation. The Sacrament of Confirmation is received in Grade 9.
