RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Welcome to PREP
The Saint Carlo Acutis Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) focuses on the religious education needs of the entire parish community of St. Francis of Assisi. Our catechetical programs seek to provide a Catholic Education to all children in our parish who do not attend Catholic School.
Our catechetical programs begin in Grade 1 and extend to Grade 7. Students who complete this studies program are prepared to meet the initiation into the Catholic faith through the Sacrament of Confirmation. Families must be registered at St. Francis of Assisi to attend.
The 2025-2026 Program Overview:
The current PREP format includes:
-
All students and their families are expected to attend Mass each weekend.
-
Classes are held in person for all grades.
-
Sunday classes are in the school from 10 to 11:15 a.m. for all students.
-
A homeschool is an option for those who prefer that format.
