Religious Education Board
Religious Education Board Members
The Religious Education Board, comprised of thirteen members who represent
as well as possible the parish community and the various school districts,
is a valuable and integral body which functions in a supportive, advisory,
and evaluative capacity in order to ensure the continued success of
the Religious Education Program. Each member of the Board is actively
involved in parish life and seeks out the views, concerns, and ideas
of parishioners, and especially, of parents of the RE Program.
