We welcome all, but there is a rule:
If you are a registered member of another Parish it is required that you have a Letter of Permission from your Parish Pastor to Betty Battson, DRE. It will need to be on your Parish letterhead, with your Pastor stating that he is giving permission for your child to take their Religious Education classes here at Saint Patrick Catholic Church. This letter must be submitted with your registration form for School of Religion.

Every child who enrolls in School of Religion must provide a copy of their Baptism Certificate.

We are always looking for volunteers to help with the program, if you are interested in volunteering please contact Betty Battson.
