Religious Education is a life long process enabling each person to grow towards a mature understanding of faith as an integral part of life.  The relationship with God, first celebrated in Baptism, is nurtured in the home and later is enriched and deepened through formal instruction and participation in the community of faith.

The aim of religious education at St. Peter Parish is to provide each person with the opportunity to supplement/augment the development of his or her faith.  Our concern is not only for children but also for the growth of persons of every age.  Our desire is that the religious education program will enable the people of the parish to more deeply delve into the beauty of the message of Jesus Christ embodied in His Church.

The object of catechesis is communion with Jesus Christ.  Catechesis leads people to enter the mystery of Christ, to encounter Him, and to discover themselves and the meaning of their lives in Him.  (National Directory of Catechesis)
