Children Formation

St. Margaret Mary recognizes the importance of children’s religious education. We desire to make every moment that your child spends with us a valuable and rewarding experience. The Parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents.” CCC #2226. Parents are the primary educators of their children in the faith. The Pastor, Children’s Faith Formation Coordinator, Catechists and parish staff are partners with parents in handing on the Catholic Faith to their children.

“Do you want to do a good deed?
Teach the young!
Do you want to perform a holy act?
Teach the young!
Do you want to do a holy thing?
Teach the young!
Truly, now and for the future among holy things, this is the holiest.”

~St. John Bosco
