RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Welcome to PREP

4377940.jpg

The Blessed 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 program is unique in that we are open to both Parishioners from Saint Francis of Assisi (SFA) and Saint Patrick's Parishes. 

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 or St. Patrick's to attend.
