Religious Education
As a community of Faith, we have a responsibility to ourselves and one
another to enter into the process of on-going formation. This process is a
lifelong journey leading us into a closer, more intimate relationship with
Jesus. Our children are fully welcomed into this process.
The Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) provides formal education and faith formation for students in Kindergarten through the eighth grade. Formation sessions are scheduled on Tuesday evenings, 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM from September to May. Sessions are held at Christ the King campus in Gilpin Twp.
The main objective of PREP is to provide a formal structure where students can learn together and come to a deeper understanding of the sacred truths of their Catholic faith at a level at which they are maturing. To help us accomplish this goal we schedule regular classroom instruction, time for traditional prayers and other devotions, seasonal family faith and fun activities, and opportunities to experience church traditions. Parent and adult faith formation opportunities will also be provided.
Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students will meet on the first Tuesday of the month at Christ the King Campus, Gilpin Twp. From 6:30 to 7:45 PM. A second class or activity will be scheduled later in the month.
Preparation for First Reconciliation and First Communion are scheduled separately during the second grade and include intergenerational components. Currently the age to receive Confirmation is being raised and will eventually be received in the eighth grade. Preparation for Confirmation will then take place during the sixth, seventh and eighth grades.
For children ages 3 to 10 there is Liturgy of the Word for Children which takes place during the Sunday Liturgy. (September-May). Vacation Bible School is also held the week after July 4 each summer.
