St. Francis de Sales K-12 Religious Education

Welcome to St. Francis de Sales
Religious Education!
Helping young hearts know, love, and follow Jesus.

Religious Education at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral is an opportunity for children and families to grow together in faith and in their relationship with Christ. Through Scripture, prayer, Catholic teaching, and community, we strive to nurture a lasting foundation of faith and a love for the Church.  We welcome families who wish to grow deeper in their Catholic faith and discover the joy of following Jesus.

To learn which classes that are available, please contact
