The Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) is open to all registered parish families with children from age 3½ (3 by March 1, 2011) through Confirmation reception,  who attend the area public or non-parochial schools.

PREREQUISITES

  • The family must be registered in St. Joseph Parish.
  • Students must attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. The basis of all religious instruction is the Liturgy of the Word and of the Eucharist. Attending religious instruction is always in addition to Mass attendance.
  • A child must have completed the previous year of religious education before moving on to the next year (e.g., level 3 completed before entering level 4), regardless of the child’s grade in school.

REGISTRATION

Please complete one family form and an information sheet for each child you wish to enroll. It is important that the forms be filled in completely. A copy of the baptismal record is necessary for registration to be considered complete. See below for more details on class sessions.
Please keep in mind that classes do fill up, and when they do, we need to close that day or grade.We can’t guarantee that you’ll receive your first choice for day or time. Please select at least three choices. We apologize for any inconvenience but when a grade is full we must close it during that session.


CLASS OPENINGS

Due to the large number of enrollments, we must operate on a first-come, first-enrolled basis. Some levels in some sessions are already full and we can no longer accept students at those times. Please make at least three selections for your child.
