Mission
 |
|
| |
|
|
Catholic education is an expression of the
mission entrusted by Jesus to the Church He founded.
"Go, then, to all peoples everywhere and make them my disciples; baptize them in the name of
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teach them to obey everything I have commanded you."
(Matthew 28:19-20)
 |
 |
Education program for the young must strive to teach doctrine, to do
so within the experiences of Christian community, and to prepare
individuals for effective Christian witness and services to others.
In doing so, student's growth in personal holiness and a deeper
relationship with Christ will be fostered.

What We Do
|
|
| |
|
|
 |
Catechists
are willing to share their own faith-life with the children and, by providing
a loving, caring environment, guide the students to grow in the understanding
of the Faith and their importance as members of St. Dominic's Parish Family.
Catechist Assistants are also a vital part of our program.
"You did not choose
me; I chose you and I appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that
endures." (John 15:16)
