Safe Environment...Each person has an inherent dignity as a beloved child of God. The Diocese of Green Bay is committed to providing a safe environment in our parishes, in our schools, in our Faith Formation [programs, and in all our ministries, especially those that serve children, youth and individuals at risk. If you want to learn more about the programs and resources available through the Diocese of Green Bay to live out this commitment, please check out the following link:

Our program is designed to inspire and guide our children in their exploration of the Catholic faith, fostering a sense of community, knowledge, and commitment to living out the Gospel.

At St. Mary we believe that the family is the primary environment where faith is nurtured, and we seek to complement and enhance the efforts of parents through our program. Our dedicated team of Catechists are passionate about creating an engaging and supportive environment where children can grow in their understanding of Catholic teachings and traditions.

For children and teens, we provide age-appropriate and interactive classes that aim to instill a solid foundation of faith, moral values, and a sense of community. Our curriculum is designed to make learning about the Catholic faith enjoyable and meaningful, with a focus of fostering a personal relationship with God.

Blessings of Peace,
