PREP 2022-23 - Fr. Gary's Message
PREP 2022-23 Registration
- Dear Parents,
  I am reaching out to you regarding our upcoming 2022/2023 PREP year. As you may have heard from recent communications we are trying to hold in-person PREP classes this year.
  Our ability to do so depends on getting enough volunteers who meet the Archdiocesan Safe Environment requirements. Should we not have enough volunteers, some/all of our PREP classes may need to utilize a homeschool format for the 2022-23 year. We will make that determination on a class-by-class basis closer to the start of PREP and communicate it to PREP participants.
  Quite simply, the success of PREP depends on the involvement of parent volunteers. Please consider volunteering to help our parish children.
  We are encouraging parents to register as soon as possible (using either the In-Person or Homeschool registration materials…depending on which program you prefer). Late registrations/payments (after August 31, 2022) may result in your child/ren being placed in the home-based catechesis Prep program should there not be enough room in an in-person class for them.
  The registration materials are attached and posted on our website.
  We look forward to another faith-filled year of PREP and thank you for choosing to educate your children in the faith.
  Blessings & Peace,
  Fr. Gary Pacitti

Summer Catch-Up
- Registration for Summer 2022 Catch-Up PREP
  is now open!
  
  Dear PREP Parents & Guardians:
  
  We know how difficult these past few years have been for many of our parish families, especially those with young school-age children. Juggling work and school during a global pandemic was challenging and for some, working religious education in as well was simply too much. To help those families, for one more summer only we will be offering a home-schooling option to help parish children who missed religious instruction due to the pandemic to begin catching up. This limited, home-school, catch-up program will run from June 15, 2022 through August 15, 2022, with the goal of helping children who missed instruction make up one year of what they missed. It is available to registered parish families only and the cost is $100 per participating child. Because of the importance of sacramental preparation, this catch-up program is not available to children who need to make up 2nd or 7th grade.
  
  Please contact me at 610-933-2110 or jimkingdre@gmail.com with questions and to register. The registration materials are below. Completed registration forms and payment are due by June 10, 2022. We thank you for your support of our parish and for choosing to educate your child in our faith!
  
  Thanks, and may God bless you and your families!
