Religious Education 

This year we transition from the term CCD, or Sunday School to something that embodies what you all have been doing for years now. The excellent catechesis that you provide the children of Saint Matthew is phenomenal. Therefore to capture all of your dedication, and hard work in lesson plans, curriculum sequencing, and ministering to the children, it was only fitting that we be officially named: Saint Matthew School of Religion (SMR).
 
The logo of the Loin and the Lamb is visual within in the church that communicates the Mystery that is Christ’s kingship and sacrifice.  In the Book of Isaiah we read:
 
“Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb,
and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat; The calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them”
 
Let us lead our children to be more like Christ so that they may grow up to model his kingship and his servitude. These actions will create a generation of faithful people who will ultimately be shining beacons of peace, faithfulness, and true strength.
