Mission Statement

CATECHETICAL CENTER: GENERAL MINISTRY & YOUTH MINISTRY

The Catechetical Center helps families in the spiritual instruction and religious formation of their children from pre-school through high school. Help is also available to parents so that they may fulfill their family ministry.

The Catechetical Center at St. Charles Parish is the focus of several ministries: pre-school, general curriculum, preparation for the Sacraments, Hispanic Catechesis, and the Parish Adult Faith Formation program. The Center also serves the St. Charles School in Sacrament Preparation.

We are committed to continue the mission, begun by Jesus Christ, to hasten the coming of God’s reign of peace, justice, and love. Through the Sacrament of Baptism, we are made members of Christ’s Body, and we are fortified with the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit. Our Ministry may be known by the following signs: our proclamation of the Word of God, our communal celebration of the Lord through prayer and worship, and our service to those who suffer because of injustice, poverty, or ignorance.
