St. Madeline Parish Religious Education Program is religious instruction or formation of our parishioners from ages 3 to 17. Having the guidelines from the Catechism of the Catholic Church as its basis, the mission of the St. Madeline Parish Religious Education Program is to reinforce the knowledge of the faith and the love of God introduced to the child in the home by the parents as primary educators.
