Parents are the primary educators of their children, teaching by word and example. Therefore, the Notre Dame Religious Education Program works as a partner with parents in the religious, moral, and spiritual formation of their children. Through cooperative efforts, the Religious Education program strives to form young people who have love for God, knowledge of their Catholic faith, and recognize their God given gifts and talents so they may share fully in the mission of Christ and His Church and be living examples of His love in word and in deed.
