  • The Children of our parish are one of our most valuable assets and just as we have been instructed and know the faith, so too should they. Our Religious Education is one of the most important resources we have. Religious education is an important commitment that we make to our children, our community, and ourselves. It is often the reason that people seek out and join religious communities. We welcome your family's participation! There is a minimal cost to cover the textbooks and resources.
  • Blessed Sacrament's Religious Education program has adopted the philosophy of providing a foundation for the lifelong endeavor of identifying that which is valuable and meaningful. The Religious Education program creates opportunities for children and youth to and practice Catholic principles and traditions. Put information about your religious education classes here.

 High School Youth Ministry

Our Young Apostles  group is an advisory board that meets to develop and plan activities for all of our youth. They are always seeking new members and invite the youth of the parish to assist in planning all activities. We know that it is imperative to include the youth in all aspects of the parish and hope you will join us in our efforts.
