Parish Religious Education (PRE)

Going back as far as the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore in 1884, the bishops of the United States have consistently taught that all parents, working together with the local parish, must provide for the religious education of their children.

Every family that does not enroll their children in Catholic schools (like our own St. Paul School) has a serious obligation to ensure that their children receive formal religious education and catechesis by some other means, and St. Paul's PRE program is here to assist you.

The PRE program runs from September through May (roughly following the school year). Classes for all grade levels from K - 8 meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:15 PM.

Our catechists are volunteers who love sharing the faith with the young people who are the future of the Church. If you love sharing the faith with others, maybe God is calling you to help educate his children.

For information on enrolling your children in PRE, or if you want to help share the light of faith, contact the parish office for more information.
