Our children are our present and our future; the future of our church, our community and our country. What they learn and live now will impact our lives, their lives and the lives of their children for many years to come. The Holy Spirit Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) strives to cultivate the following in all its participants:

* deep knowledge of the faith
* full, active and conscious participation in the life of

   the church
* moral formation
* an attitude of prayer and contemplation
* a true sense of belonging to our Christian community
* active participation in the mission of the church

Pre-K meets Friday in our Children's Chapel, located in the East end of our Educational building.
 

PREP Classes meet September through May.

Classes take place at 9:00am and 11:45am, by assignment.

Please check the bulletin for details, and the monthly calendar for parent meetings and "No PREP" dates.
