All children who do not attend Catholic school are invited and expected to enroll in PREP (Parish Religious Education Program) classes.  While this year we expect to have materials in the classroom - gluesticks, glue, crayons, pencils, etc. - we are going to ask you to bring textbooks back and forth each week.  That way should the need arise suddenly, we would be able to switch to a virtual class for a weekend and you would have what you needed!

ATTENDANCE - An 80% attendance must be maintained in order for a student to pass to the next class level. The diocese requires 30 hours of intentional catechesis.  This is especially important in the 2 years prior to receiving a sacrament (1st & 2nd Grades for Eucharist, 7th & 8th Grades for Confirmation), when a 90% attendance is required. If you have an issue for a dual family or other situation, please contact the DRE about materials for makeup sessions and home schooling.  All of our lesson calendars are on the website now, so you can also see what lesson they are supposed to do that week.  Your catechist will also be happy to respond with any work they may need to finish.  Contact Mrs. Yasik with any questions!
