Parent Handbook
PREP is a program that assists in the faith formation of parish children not enrolled in St. Mary of the Lakes School. Children are immersed in the teachings of the Church, its worship, and prayer life and are empowered to live and proclaim the Good News as they reach out in service to others.Sacramental Preparation
PREP is an eight-year program. Students must attend all eight years if they want to be confirmed in 8th grade (unless there are special circumstances). School children study religion with religious education teachers, with PREP staff making immediate preparations.
The PREP staff meets with parents, supervises the services, prepares and reads specific assignments for 7th and 8th graders and makes arrangements for First Reconciliation and Masses for First Communion/Confirmation. The staff also conducts retreats for 2nd and 8th graders.Office
