Religious Education: To Know, Love and Serve the Lord.
Of all of the works of the Lord during his public ministry, that of teaching was always prime. Of all the duties of the Church community, that which has precedence is to get to know the Lord. Of all the ways of getting to know the Lord more intimately, the most transformative is to join him in learning and teaching the ways of faith.
Of all the many realities that now call for our attention as we live in communion of mind and heart in the Lord, the learning and teaching of the faith is the one that most needs our Parish’s attention.
Ours is a time of recovery from the disruptions of recent years. Ours is a time in which we know we cannot rely on the society around us to support or promote the more important values that define a decent, holy life. Ours is a time in which many in our midst know in a new way the need and desire to find their way forward in a more secure and wholesome way.
Spiritual health is one of many dimensions of our life and that of our families, our children and young adults. But unlike the many other matters that clamor for our and their attention, our spiritual health gives life, purpose, direction and joy to all the others in a way that is unique. One must not do without.
You are invited by your own call to know the Lord anew, to be part of Religious Education in our community. We are to accompany, enrich and encourage a fullest life in our loved ones.
If you have any questions about Religious Education, please contact the Religious Education Office at 781-631-8340 / [email protected].
Religious Education Office hours: Monday — Thursday, 9:00 a.m. — 2:00 p.m.
