RELIGIOUS EDUCATION (PREP)

ABOUT PREP AT SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI

Often called “CCD”, our PREP Program seeks to provide a Catholic Education to all children in our Parish who do not attend Catholic School. Our Program is unique in that we are open to both Parishioners from Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Patrick's Parishes.

CLASSES

Our classes are on Sunday Mornings from 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM in St. Francis of Assisi School. 

FEES

One Child $125.00; Two Children $225.00; Three Children $300.00. 

There is also a $30.00 Fee for First Holy Communion, and a $50.00 Fee for Confirmation. 

A copy of your child’s Baptism Certificate is REQUIRED at the time of Registration. 

If your child is entering HIGH SCHOOL beginning September 2024, they will need to be 

registered in our RCIA classes instead of PREP. For more information on RCIA, click here.

NOTICE FOR ST. PATRICK'S PARISHIONERS

If your family attends Mass at / is registered at Saint Patrick's Parish, but your child is in Religious Education Classes here at St. Francis, PLEASE CONTACT SAINT PATRICK'S. Your child will be receiving their Sacrament(s) at Saint Patrick's. They will provide you with the list of meeting dates, practice dates, Sacramental dates, and other important information. If you are registered at St. Patrick's, your child will NOT be receiving their Sacraments here at Saint Francis of Assisi.

A NOTE FOR HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES

It is important to keep in contact with the parish in regard to your child’s religious education. Your pastor, Fr. Smith, has requested that all children who are home-schooled receive a midterm and year-end test to monitor their progress. Home-schooled children who are preparing for a sacrament during the year, must not only be tested but must also participate in the Parish Retreat and all events expected from any child receiving a sacrament. Please contact Fr. Smith in the Rectory for more information. Registration for homeschooling may follow the registration period for traditional catechesis.

PLEASE NOTE: Annual Safe Environment instructions are now called KidTalk. Below are the lessons for each grade level. Please download the correct level for your child and work through the lesson with them.

Level 1 | Level 2 |Level 3|Level 4|Level 5 |
Level 6 | Level 7 | Level 8 | Feeling Cards

If you would like more information about how to provide a safe environment for your child, please feel free to visit the website for the Office of Child and Youth Protection for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia at:

MASS ATTENDANCE

As a reminder, beginning in January of 2024, all CATHOLIC students in St. Francis of Assisi School in grades 1 - 8 and ALL P.R.E.P. students will be required to regularly attend Sunday Mass. We will be distributing monthly Mass Attendance forms to every class to be signed by the celebrant at each Mass. Beginning in January, those forms will also be available for download here.
