Information for Parents

The Catechism of the Catholic Church states education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. (CCC#2226) While parents are the primary educators of a child's faith, the St. Agnes Religious Education Program supplements what the children learn at home. Our religious education program serves close to 1,100 children in grades 1 through 10.
