Dear Parents:
We welcome you and your child/children into St. Kateri’s Religious Education program. As parents, you are the first and most important educators for your children. Our program is designed to be partners with you in this important task of bringing your children closer to God and others.
In relation to their faith, children/youth need an understanding of the rich ethnic and cultural diversity and universality of the Catholic Church. They need to understand their own culture as well as the cultures of the many people who make up the population of our country. This mutual cultural knowledge and understanding enriches their practice of the Catholic faith and intensifies their practice of charity in welcoming the stranger with a magnanimous Catholic spirit. This curriculum plan contains many foundational principals and faith statements relative to culture.
