Religious Education

The purpose of this committee is to help build community in our parish by planning & developing educational opportunities to increase knowledge and understanding of our Catholic Faith. The members of this committee research, organize and distribute educational information for sharing, expanding and enriching the Faith of our parish family. 

         St. Henry Parish School of Religion believes that all children should be raised knowing the love of God through His Son, Jesus Christ. It is important that children develop a comfort level with the ceremony and basis for our worship while they grow in their spiritual lives. Children come from many different grade schools in the area and all efforts are made to foster healthy Christian relationships that will last a life time. Through the study of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ the moral compass of our youth is formed as they ask "What would Jesus do, in this circumstance?"

            R.C.I.A. The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the process by which people become members of the Roman Catholic Church. The process is concerned with the total formation of the person into believing with the Church community (doctrinal formation), living with the Church community (practical formation), praying with the Church community (liturgical formation), and serving with the Church community (apostolic formation). Instruction begins in September and culminates in the Profession of Faith or Sacrament of Initiation at Easter Vigil Liturgy. The post baptismal catechesis continues until Pentecost Sunday.
