Fontana Center.
Embedded Files
All classes resume beginning the week of January 5th 2026
Welcome!
As dedicated servants, the Religious Education Staff, Catechists, supporting teams of volunteers, and witnesses welcome the opportunity to serve this Catholic community and help in the faith formation of its members.
The Religious Education program is here to help parents fulfill their responsibility to raise their children in the Catholic faith, prepare those needing to complete their sacraments of initiation and provide programs for additional faith development.
Education and resources are provided to the youth, parents, and adults inquiring about the faith including those seeking to fulfill their sacraments.
Recommended sites and those we have partnered with for the religious Education Program:
This is an excellent site associated with OCIA/RCIA but it is great for Confirmation (adult and youth) and for those who would like to learn more about their Catholic Faith.
Another excellent site which is dedicated to those who are looking to start or restart a prayer, up their game in their prayers, grow deeper in the relationship with God and learn more about the faith.
This site provides some articles regarding some aspects of catholic belief.
N.E.T. National Evangilization Team
A great organization which helps Parishes with their youth retreats. N.E.T. is coming!!!
Religious Education mission Statement:
St. John XXIII Catholic Parish Religious Education ministry seeks to nourish the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all families and persons, who seek assistance with preparation for the sacraments and those seeking genral faith formation. It is through the words commanded by Christ himself, the apostolic statements and the mission of the Holy church to offer assistance and to be a resource for families in order for parents to exercise their duty as primary educators of their children. It is with joy we endeavor to foster inspiration for their spiritual growth through formation, to emphasize having an encounter with Christ and to live an authentic the Christian life-style.
