Seventh GRADE - PREP 
Living as a Disciple of Christ

This Catechist led class for the Seventh grade will meet in-person on a regular basis at the Parish Life Center bi-weekly.

In Seventh Grade PREP includes four units in which middle school students explore the topics of:

  • Jesus and the Gospel message: unifying themes in Scripture and an in-depth examination of the four Gospels

  • Personal growth: the origin, dignity, and destiny of the human person

  • Each of the Seven Sacraments

  • Prayer: its elements, qualities, and challenges, ways of praying, and Mary and the saints as models of prayer

While it's important for your children to understand the Faith, Spirit of Truth is designed to help them internalize the Faith and apply it to their own lives, providing ample opportunity for them to reflect on how everything they are learning applies to their own lived experience.

PREP COVID - 19  UPDATE

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

RE: Covid-19 Protocols for Parish Religious Education Programs:

 

In-person Instruction As the Covid-19 and its variants continue to present challenges, the guidance from federal, state and local authorities varies and is ever-changing. Therefore, in order to avoid confusion, the Office for Catechetical Formation, in consultation with the Office of Catholic Education Covid-19 Task Force, created one, systematic plan for Archdiocesan Parish Religious Education Programs which are returning to in-person instruction for the 2021-2022 academic year.

 

This plan keeps the protection and safety of our parish children, most of whom are not vaccinated, foremost by mitigating exposure to the Covid-19 virus.

 

1. Waiver: Each student must have a signed and dated Archdiocesan Covid-19 waiver on file. If a parent/guardian refuses to sign the waiver, the family is offered a home-based catechetical plan.

 

2. Masks: All adults, teens and children are to be masked before, during an in-person instruction session and at dismissal until safely outdoors.

 

3. Social Distancing: Desks or seating must be three feet apart.

 

4. Classroom or Instructional space: • Environment: Keep well ventilated to the greatest extent possible to circulate fresh air; • Seating Charts: Important for Covid-19 tracing if someone tests positive and was present at PREP; • Shared School classrooms: Do not change the desk or other furniture set up.

 

5. Educational and Hygienic Supplies: The parish or families should provide hand sanitizer and tissues; educational materials such as crayons, markers, paper products, etc. should not be shared.

 

6. Cleaning and Sanitizing Shared Space: Rooms, bathrooms, high traffic areas and any shared space must be cleaned and sanitized after each PREP session.

 

For guidance, go to: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus

 

7. Monitoring Student Health: Parents/guardians should monitor their child’s health and not send a sick child to PREP.

 

8. Tracing and Reporting: If a student or an adult volunteer tests positive for Covid-19 or a variant, immediately contact the local County/City Department of Health for guidance. N.B.: Delaware County is under the state Department of Health.

 

 

Please be assured that this plan will be constantly monitored and adjusted if conditions improve or deteriorate. The Directors/Coordinators of Religious Education will be notified of these changes immediately via email.
