Religious Education and Faith Formation For Our Children
Catechetical Sunday is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the role that each person plays, by virtue of Baptism, in handing on the faith and being a witness to the Gospel. This year, the Church will celebrate Catechetical Sunday on September 19, 2021, and the theme is: “Say the Word and My Soul Shall be Healed." Those who the parish community has designated to serve as catechists will be called forth to be commissioned for their ministry. The Faith Formation Class's theme for the year is "Stay With Us" (Luke 24:27 - The Road to Emmaus).Classes begin on September 19, 2021 (This weekend) with the Children’s Liturgy Mass at 10:00 AM and the First Day of Class at 11:15 AM - 12:15PM.

Updated Mission Statement
The Roman Catholic Community of Saint Valentine is called to be a visible sign of God's presence in the world. Through celebration of the sacraments, especially through reconciliation and the Eucharist, we are sent out to proclaim and witness to the Gospel by our lives.
We are therefore dedicated to serving others within our church, local communities and throughout the world. By loving God, neighbor and self we deepen our response to the Lord and to announce the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ.
