Motto:  “To Bring Christ to our Youth”

 
St. John School of Religion is located across the street from New Hampton High School.  Classes are offered both semesters during the school day for students in grades 9-12.  Catholic students may attend religion classes each week during scheduled class periods.  

This collaborative arrangement with the high school is an opportunity for our youth from area parishes to receive a Catholic education.   

St. John School of Religion was established by the people of: 

• Holy Family, New Hampton 
• Immaculate Conception Parish, North Washington  
• St. Bernard's Parish, Alta Vista 
• St. Boniface Parish, Ionia, and 
• Our Lady of Lourdes Parish, Lourdes.

• To bring the Christocentric MESSAGE of the Gospel to all persons. This message includes knowledge of and faith in: 
  • The mysteries of the Trinity and salvation
  • The living tradition of the Church
  • The self-worth of all persons
• To foster the experience of a vital faith COMMUNITY which encourages all believers to live the Gospel message.
• To give active witness that SERVICE is central to Christian life and necessary to personal growth.
• To provide Catechesis that would prepare students for liturgy, and in reflecting on their community's experiences of WORSHIP, seek to relate their experiences to daily life.

• To implement this philosophy, we propose the following general goals:
• To continue and improve our high school program
• To foster and support adult renewal
• To continue and support teacher formation at St. John School of Religion and area parishes
• To continue to develop and support a process for total youth ministry
• To seek staff and board enrichment
• To continue and expand activity in public relations

• To make Catechetical resources available from our center
