Welcome to St. John's Parish Religious Education Program!
We look forward to sharing our faith with your children.

Through example, service, study and prayer, St. John's PREP aims to guide the children and families of our parish to develop a lifelong relationship with Jesus. We are committed to:
 

• Nurturing love of God and service to others;

 

• Teaching the values and catechism of the Catholic Church; and

 

• Preparing children for the sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

All SJC children, regardless of school, traditionally celebrate First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion in second grade and Confirmation in seventh grade. Adaptive PREP students may receive their sacraments at any age, in accordance with their needs.

We understand that some families have special circumstances that affect their child's religious education and sacramental preparation. Please reach out to us as soon as possible to discuss any special needs for the upcoming year.

Our Programs

St. John's PREP offers two options:

• Instruction and sacramental preparation for grades 1-7; and

 

• An Adaptive program for youth of all ages with special needs.

This year, SJC PREP has introduced a new "family catechesis" program that combines catechesis at home with occasional meetings as permitted. This new model hass proved to be a powerful experience for families and a safe, consistent and flexible method of religious instruction amid the uncertainties of the COVID pandemic. We are excited to share this program with you.
