By virtue of the Sacrament of Matrimony, parents are the prime educators of their children in the Christian Faith. Many times parents are much more prepared for this role than they think. It is so important for parents to hand on their faith to their children. This has been working for thousands of years and will continue onward.

What our Parish Religious Education Program (PREP) provides is an encouragement to parents and a refinement of education in the faith for their children.
