At Christ the Priest, faith is at the heart of all we do. Guided by the Gospel values of Mercy, Service, and Thanksgiving, our Religious Education program nurtures each child’s spiritual growth, encourages active participation in Church life, and strengthens parish and community connections.
In partnership with St Catherine of Siena Parish, and grounded in Scripture, Church tradition, and the Liturgical Calendar, our students are encouraged to live their faith with purpose and integrity.
