Mission

The St. Dunstan School of Religious Education is an important part of the St. Dunstan Parish Community. We are dedicated in providing our students with a desire to share in the adventure of faith, learning, liturgy and life. Our programs provide faith formation for children to grow in love, knowledge, appreciation and desire to become active members of the Catholic Church. We are committed to helping parents encourage and to provide their children with a solid spiritual foundation of their Roman Catholic faith.

We thank all of our volunteers who assisted at the parish festival!
