MISSION
STATEMENT
Queen
of Heaven Parish Religious Education Program
(PREP) is a faith formation program for children in levels one
through eight.
Following the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church we have,
as
the purpose of our Religious Education Program,
to demonstrate to our students through our instruction and our
actions
God’s
love for them.
Our hope is to assist the parents in leading their children to
a deeper lived experience
of faith in Jesus Christ and His Church.
We hope to demonstrate this:
·
Through our common experience of Sunday worship
and celebration of the sacraments.
·
Through our service and outreach to all God’s
people.
Here
at Queen of Heaven, we offer a comprehensive Religious Education
program for all children in Grade Levels 1 through 8.
The goal of our formal Religious Education Program is to
assist the parents, who are the primary educators of our
children, in deepening their child’s spiritual development.
This goal is accomplished using many mediums including
formal classroom instruction, retreats, parent meetings, and
Liturgical celebrations.
Classes
meet weekly from September to May and students are provided with
textbooks that cover material at a grade appropriate level and
build each year on the prior years knowledge.
Weekly classes are held in our
Regional
Catholic
School
, thus providing an environment that is conducive to learning.
All
of our programs are staffed with volunteer catechists who
instruct the children and training for all catechists is
provided throughout the year.
Becoming a catechist is a wonderful opportunity to share
your faith journey with our children.
If you would like more information on how you can make a
difference in our parish community, contact Kathy Isherwood in
