We offer a wonderful PREP program  for children in grades 1 -8, in public, private and non-Catholic Schools.  Our program includes a PREP  Family Mass, held at the beginning of each month followed by a short catechetical lesson, and some community time in the social hall.  

Our PREP Classes (grades 1 - 8) meet on Sunday mornings at St. Ann School, beginning at  9:00am  and concluding at 10:15am.  Our classes  run from September to  April, depending on when Easter falls that year. Starting at the end of June, PREP Registration becomes available online each year.  If you child was in the PREP program the previous year, you will receive an email with the link to register. 

No online classes are offered at this time.  

The Sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion Preparation Classes (grade 2) are taught in conjunction with the 2nd Grade PREP Class. The sacrament of Reconciliation is celebrated in the fall, while the sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation are both celebrated in the spring. Please see the tab "Reconciliation" for information about registering your child for this sacrament. Registering your child  for First Reconciliation automatically registers them for First Holy Communion.  

Similarly, the Confirmation Preparation Classes (8th grade), are also taught in conjunction with the 8th Grade PREP Class. The Sacrament of Confirmation is celebrated in the spring, this date is chosen by the bishop and depends on bishops schedule. Please see the tab  "Confirmation" for information about registering your child for this sacrament.
