Parish Religious Education Program
(PREP)
Our First Holy Communion Mass was truly beautiful in so many ways. Now we look ahead to our Confirmation ceremony on December 2, at 6 PM with Bishop Edward Deliman presiding. Please keep these students & their families in your prayers as they prepare for this beautiful Sacrament. There will be no Parent Presentation on November 8, however, the catechists will present lessons starting that day & throughout the week. The topic will be Advent & Christmas customs. There will be no lessons in December, so this is a great time to catch up with any Interactive Reviews which have not been completed & sent. Certificates of level completion will be issued at the end of the program in early May. This will be based on the number of sessions attended & completed assignments.
Please contact Sister Rita Marian with any questions or concerns at rmangelilli@olastrafford.org or 610-688-6590.
