According to Lori Dahlhoff, director of the Religious Education Department, Parish Religious Education Week will honor all those serving in parish religious education and help strengthen interconnections between Catholic parish and school education programs. “It will help educate folks about what is happening in parish religious education and why it’s important,” Dahlhoff said.
