Our Lady Queen of Heaven

Religious Education Mission Statement

We, the faith-filled Catholic men and women of Our Lady Queen of Heaven’s Religious Education Program, are committed to the Gospel message and the religious formation of all God’s children.  We believe that each person is a gift from God and therefore, a unique individual with many gifts and talents. 

We are dedicated to creating an environment that nurtures each child’s gifts and cultivates lifelong faith development, moral virtues, self-efficacy and a commitment to Christian service.

The goals of the Religious Education Program are:  

•      To build upon the faith nurtured by the children’s families and celebrated in baptism.

•      To provide religious formation which is consistent with the basic traditions and      teachings of the Roman Catholic Church as reflected in the direction set by the Second Vatican Council.

•      To provide the opportunity to experience the rich sacramental life of the Church, which nourishes and sustains life

•      To create a sense of community identity which can be an ever-deepening experience of Church for the children and their families

•      To assist parent’s growth in their roles as “religious educators.”
