Welcome to St. Matthew’s  Religious Education Program!

We are delighted to have you join us on this enriching journey of faith, learning, and spiritual growth. Our program is designed to deepen your understanding of the Catholic faith, while helping you build a strong personal relationship with God. Through scripture, prayer, sacraments, and community, we aim to guide you closer to Christ and empower you to live out your faith in everyday life. 

Our goal is to help form and prepare our students to love God and the Church as they prepare to receive a Sacrament of Initiation. We continue to work on living our Parish Mission Statement, "Encounter Christ, Be Disciples." Our continued goal is that each student has an Encounter with Christ as they attend class and create community with all our priests, catechists and students.

There are currently no active events available for registration.
