At St. Sebastian, we aspire to cultivate a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ in every child. We foster an environment where faith is celebrated, and a love for learning about God grows. Through the guidance of dedicated catechists, we aim to create an atmosphere where children can encounter the living presence of God in a way that can reach them on a personal level. By exploring Catholic stories, beliefs, and traditions, we empower students to deepen their knowledge of Jesus Christ and ultimately equip them to share His love with the world. Our program strives to instill a strong foundation of Catholic faith in our students. We prepare them to be confident in understanding, living, and articulating the teachings of the Church. By fostering a spirit of compassion and mercy, we also inspire our students to become beacons of hope and love in their communities. Additionally, we support families in their role as the primary educators of their children’s faith.
