The Office of Religious Education in the San Pedro Pastoral Region works with pastoral ministers, parish catechetical leaders, catechists and volunteers who reside in Long Beach and Southern Los Angeles County. Our mission is to further support and resource their catechetical ministries. Our area of service includes: regional congress, monthly gatherings, in-services and days of prayers with leaders in the parish; formal parish visits; and offering a variety of catechist formation centers and specializations throughout the year.
