PREP stands for Parish Religious Education Program. This is an Archdiocesan program of religious instruction for children in Kindergarten or Grades 1-7 (or beyond Grade 7 if your child has not yet received the Sacrament of Confirmation) who attend the public or independent schools. Preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Communion and Confirmation is included in the program. For school age children who have not been baptized or who have had no religious education, more individualized arrangements may be necessary.
PREP classes are held on Tuesday evenings at our Parish.
Please contact our PREP Coordinator for information: prep.olph@gmail.com
