Sacramental Reception
God has given us the two “textbooks” of education, Creation and Revelation.
God has also given us our primary teachers, parents. Parents are the primary educators of their children from “womb to tomb”. In order to assist parents in their daunting duty of educating their children in the Faith, St. Daniel the Prophet Roman Catholic Church has a Religious Education program which is under the direction of the Pastor and requires the cooperation of the parishioners.
The RE program is designed as a supplement to the primary education given by the parents. It can never, nor aims to replace the most important role and duty of parents in educating their children. Further, the RE program assists parents in growing in their knowledge of the Catholic Faith.
The RE program has classes for children in every grade level. St. Daniel the Prophet’s Religious Education program is open to all students who do not attend a Catholic school.
The most central benefit of attending the RE program is the student’s increased understanding of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist and how He continually calls everyone to Him, longing for each of us to come to Him and how to
respond to His call. This understanding will help the student in six essential
aspects of the life of Faith: 1) Knowledge of the Faith 2) Liturgical Participation
3) Moral formation 4) Personal prayer 5) Fraternal charity and 6) Missionary spirit.
