Our Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) is structured to provide catechetical instruction and knowledge of Catholic practices and rituals to all our children.

    Families, by word and example, are the primary teachers of their children and teach them from birth through their entire life. At Baptism, families undertake the responsibility of providing for their children’s faith formation.

   The Religious Education Staff, Catechists, and Aides are here to assist families in the spiritual formation and ongoing moral development of their children through a formal program of continuous Religious Education.

    By enrolling their child(ren) in the Religious Education Program at All Saints, families are expected to participate with their child(ren) in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass on Sundays as well as Holy Days of Obligation. Families are also expected to participate in the sacramental life of the Church (specifically Reconciliation and Eucharist) and to include their children in these sacramental celebrations as the children are eligible to participate in them.

    All students in our Parish Religious Education Program are expected to participate in Sunday Mass. Religious Education cannot and does not substitute for the Sunday liturgy. The commitment to attend Mass in person every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation is the main tenant of our faith. Watching Mass is reserved for those who are ill or physically unable to attend in any other way.

Please see the column to the right for the prayers and information that are expected to be known at each level of the program.
