PREP - Parish Religious Education Program
Our VISION
OLG PREP educates children in the Catholic Church tradition with spiritually based tools to foster wonder and love for all that is true, good, and beautiful. Our program provides a classic educational approach. Students are encouraged to read, speak, and think well, understanding that truth and beauty are desirable for their own sake.
PREP students will explore two thousand years of Catholic cultural wisdom through history, art, and spiritual ideology. Teachers will nurture the growth of self-knowledge, supporting students in acquiring the character to live happy, balanced lives in service to others, and to God. A comprehensive religious education extends beyond the classroom, it’s an opportunity to transform one’s life.
Our Lady of Guadalupe families who fully participate in parish life and assist with the spiritual education of its children contribute to an increased spiritual well-being that brings each child closer to God.
Our PREP program is for children in first grade through eighth grade. Children make the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist in second grade and Confirmation in eighth grade.
