Come join the Queen of Peace Parish Religious Education Program!
The Parish Religious Education Program aims to help both children and parents grow in knowledge of their Faith and in communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ through word and sacrament. Religious instruction is based on the six tasks of Catechesis: CREED, LITURGY, MORALITY, PRAYER, COMMUNITY, and MISSION. Devotion to Mary, our Mother and our Model, is an integral component of our Faith Formation Program. Like Mary, who was filled with God’s grace, we strive to become living examples of Jesus, her son.

Children process out for their instructions in Lynaugh Hall before the Liturgy of the Word and return after the homily.
