Elementary School

Thank you for sending your child to St. Mary's.  We believe that parents are the primary educators and that it is through the Christian life parents lead at home and in the community that our Catholic faith will be passed on to our children.  Our program is here to provide resources to parents, so that they can teach their children the Catholic faith along with their teachers.  We are here to support you.  Lessons will be sent home each week, therefore, it is important to review these papers with your child and have a discussion of what they've learned.  This will give you a way to connect their learning to everyday life.  Sometimes parents may feel that religious education class is all they need growing up, but we need to remember that religious education should not take the place of Saturday or Sunday Mass.  The Sunday Liturgy provides crucial formation and catechesis that your child needs.  Please reach out to us if there is anything we can do to help get our young children to mass.  Just remember, God smiles when he sees you at mass on Sundays!
