Our Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) provides Religious Education programming for students who do not attend Catholic Schools.
The three options for this program are:
A Traditional Weekly Program: families choose one of two nights each week (currently Tuesday or Wednesday) from 5 pm to 6:15 pm. This program starts in September and ends in May
A Monthly Family Catechesis Program: held in the Church building once a month, led by a trained Catechist, then parents teach the remaining lessons during the month to their children
A Summer Intensive Program: held during a week just after school finishes for the summer; Monday through Friday.
Regardless of the program chosen by the family, every family is expected to attend other Parish events during the year as part of their program. These events are chosen to help supplement the lessons taught by the Catechesis as well as to provide an opportunity for the entire family to engage in Parish Life, outside of Sunday and Holy Day Masses.
Children from 5 years old to 3rd grade are invited to come forward on Sundays during the Liturgy of the Word at the 10:30am Mass from September through June to participate in this special program with a trained Catechist. A simpler form of the Mass Readings is used, and they are led in activities that help reinforce the lessons from the Readings. They rejoin the congregation for the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
St. Vincent’s provides a program of Ministry to Youth from grades 6 through 12. Students meet in age-appropriate groups (Middle School: Grades 6-8 and High School: Grades 9-12), as well as participate in larger projects and activities with the entire group. Meetings are generally held monthly from September through June. Please see the Bulletin for information
