Educational Activities at St.
Luke Parish
Our Philosophy of Religious Education
The family is a community and the
most basic way in which the Lord gathers us, forms us, and acts
in our world. The goal of Parish School of Religious Education
is to help parents and children to grow in a greater
understanding of the Catholic Faith as a family community.
The aim of catechesis is to
encourage a living, explicit and fruitful expression of faith.
The family becomes holy, not because it is perfect, but because
God’s grace is at work within it, helping its members set out
every day on the way of love.
What can you as a partner or
Guardian do to help reinforce your child’s or children’s faith?
Below are a few suggestions:
1.
Make prayer part of your family’s daily life.
2.
Model and live your lives in accord with Christian principles.
3.
Participate in Sunday liturgy and discuss how it affects your
life.
4.
Support and guild your child/children in making good
discussions.
5.
Serve others as Jesus did; identify ways your family can help
others.
6.
Make the Scriptures a part of your family and share Bible
Stories.
7.
Make sure that your children attend the Religious Education
Classes.
In order to strengthen the
faith life of our worshipping community, St. Luke Parish strives to provide quality Catholic educational
experiences for parishioners of all ages at St. Luke Parish.
