The mission of St. Andrew's Religious Education Program, which is
rooted in and derived from the Roman Canon of the Mass, is simply
and always to hold and teach the Catholic Faith that comes to us
from the Apostles.

We acknowledge the one Teacher, Jesus Christ, and remain
steadfastly united to the Catholic Church He founded on the rock of
St. Peter. Therefore, we expect unwavering fidelity to the Successor
of Peter from all teachers and teacher assistants who volunteer in
this program.

At St. Andrew's Parish, each child is seen as created in the image and
likeness of God and as a reflection of His goodness.  Realizing that
God has created all things for His glory and our benefit, the
challenge of being a living witness to the Gospel is central to the
development of each student.  Therefore, at St. Andrew's, an
understanding of Jesus and His message is essential to knowing Him,
loving Him, and serving Him always.

The core elements listed below form the foundation and strength of
St. Andrew's Religious Education Program.  With these elements we
seek to cultivate the hearts, minds, and souls of our students to their
fullest potential.

* The Parents are recognized and respected as the primary  
educators of their children

* The dignity of the individual, as a unique child of God, is nurtured     
   and developed

* The doctrine of the Catholic faith is presented in its fullness and       
   entirety as both knowledge to be learned and a life to be lived

* The Sacramental life is central to developing and sustaining the       
  Catholic Faith

* The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Real Presence of our Lord    
   in the Eucharist is the "source and summit" of our Faith

* The promotion of frequent reception of the Sacraments of Penance  
  and Holy Eucharist

* The Gospel values which teach moral life as expressed in the Ten    
  Commandments, Beatitudes, Corporal and Spiritual Works of
Mercy are professed, cultivated and practiced

* The Word of God is revered

* Our Blessed Lady's example, as the first disciple of Jesus, is our       
  model

* The virtues are fostered and practiced in everyday life

* Reading and studying the lives of the saints as an example for our   
  lives

* The importance of prayer is stressed as a source for growth in the   
  spiritual life.  Holy Hours, Rosaries, Novenas, personal prayers, and
  Mass attendance are stressed and encouraged.
