ST. MARY MAGDALEN RELIGIOUS EDUCATION MISSION STATEMENT
The two-year Sacrament Journey to First Holy Communion is an important event for the entire Parish Community. Our mission is to tap into the joy of our awesome Catholic faith. We are most mindful that presenting the Church’s teachings faithfully is absolutely essential. Our goal is to present the doctrine, prayers, tradition and Gospel in ways that engage our children. Together with you and your families we hope to ignite in them a desire to live out their Catholic Faith!
