The mission of the RE program is to work in collaboration with families as they journey with their children on the road of faith development.

We recognize parents as the first and foremost teachers of their children in faith and morals. In partnership with parents, the RE program at St. Joseph Parish has been designed to help each student understand the message revealed by God which the church proclaims, realize the rights and responsibilities in the communities of which they are a part and instill a willingness to serve the Christian community as well as all humankind.

The RE program focuses on many basic themes, including the Trinity, the church, morality and the sacraments.
