CCD Mission Statement
The mission of Saint Gabriel’s Religious Education Program is
to deepen in our children their awareness and understanding of God’s
loving presence in their lives and to strengthen in them the
Christian message of justice and love.
Our program focuses on:
- Helping and supporting parents in developing the faith-life of their children.
- Presenting clear concepts of our Catholic faith and doctrine.
- Celebrating our faith through class and community liturgies.
- Imparting an awareness and understanding of Sacred Scripture and its significance on Christian living.
- Reinforcing, nurturing and strengthening Christian values.
- Working with parents in preparing children for meaningful reception of the Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation.
The Religious Education Program strives to spiritually prepare its
young people to meet and deal with a changing world.
In order
to assist parents in their roles as the primary religious educators of their
children, the religious education staff will offer catechesis through formal
and informal classroom experiences, based on the Diocesan Graded Course of
Study.
The purpose
of our program is to foster growth toward a mature Catholic faith. This
is to be accomplished by transmitting the Christian message, forming a faith
community, service to others, and providing opportunities for worship. This
is supported through the study of Scripture, liturgy, doctrine, history, and
through the life experiences of the parent and student.
