Adult Religious Education
The Archdiocese of Santa Fe reminds us that the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation are not only sacred steps for the candidates—they are a faith journey for parents, guardians, and sponsors as well! Parents, guardians, and sponsors are required to attend parish programs or classes and are encouraged to join candidates in special sessions.
Here at Santa Maria de la Paz, we make this easy and enriching through our Adult Religious Education program—an opportunity to grow in faith together as we guide our young people toward the fullness of the Spirit. Participation in one of these ARE program units is a requirement for all parents, guardians, and sponsors.
