Religious Education (CCD)
St. Luke Parish Office of Catechetical Services for
Children and Youth, also known as, Office of Religious
Education and Faith Formation for Children and Youth, is
designed to provide a variety of opportunities for enrichment,
education, and spiritual renewal for our culturally diverse
parish community. Our catechetical staff and catechists are
directly responsible for teaching Catholic doctrine in word
and living example.
We work collaboratively with our Pastor and Associate Pastor
to provide essential catechetical formation for the children
and youth of our parish. In the words of our beloved +Pope
John Paul II in Catechesi Tradendae, “Catechesis is to
develop, with God’s help, an as yet initial faith, and to
advance in fullness and to nourish day by day the Christian
life of the faithful.” Our efforts to form children and
youth in Christian faith, is joined by the efforts of the
parents and guardians of these same children and youth.
Mutually with other ministries within our parish community,
we strive to develop and promote spiritually healthy parish
families.
The richness of our multi-cultural Catholic community
necessitates catechetical programs and studies in English
and Spanish. We have bilingual English/Spanish staff readily
available to provide catechesis for our ever growing parish
community.
