Religious Education

 "Education is the food of youth, the delight of old age, the ornament of prosperity, the refuge and comfort of adversity, and the provocation to grace in the soul." St. Agustine
 

St Jane de Chantal Parish offers a variety of religious education programs
for young children, teens, and adults including our Blue Ribbon School Parochial School

Children's Liturgy of the Word: (Children ages 5-8) During Saturday 5pm Mass' Liturgy of the Word, children ages 5 - 8 are invited to enjoy Gospel lessons and enrichment with music, art, and play. No registration needed, but parents must be in the congregation.

Adult Scripture Study: Provides an opportunity for all adult parishioners to continue their journey of faith. The parish provides education in prayer, sacred scripture, sacraments, morality, social justice, and Catholic parenting, as well as opportunities to participate in small faith sharing groups. 
 

Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) - A gradual process of conversion and initiation into the Catholic Christian community providing individuals the space to encounter God and respond to His invitation to a new way of life in the Catholic faith. Grounded in a respect for the personal faith journey of each individual, the RCIA provides an extended period of prayer, study, and fellowship in which each individual has the opportunity to grow in relationship with God and the parish community. Click Here to Receive More Information
