PREP

The goal of the St. Edward PREP program is to provide support for parents, who are their children’s primary teacher of the faith.  The program is led by devoted faith-filled teachers who want to share the Catholic faith with the youth of our parish.  In order to form this partnership, the parents and teachers in the church must work together to create an environment where children encounter Jesus, learn the teachings of the Catholic faith and regularly participate in the sacraments.  

Our Parish Religious Education Program(PREP) will look a bit different this year. We are going to begin the year with a virtual program that will allow students to continue learning the faith at home with their family.  The virtual program will include a book, videos, assignments and family projects. The program is designed to teach the same objective across grade levels so that families can have discussions together. Each grade will have a teacher who communicates on a weekly basis to answer questions, provide feedback and monitor assignments. Each month families can pick up packets with games, activities and crafts to use at home. 

We will monitor the changes with COVID-19 and if is safe we will begin in-person classes in January.
