Fourth Sunday of Easter

Christ is the very

center of our faith. He is

our shepherd and we

listen to His voice;

through Him we enter

into fullness of life.

We who belong to Jesus by virtue of our Bap-tism now share in His Mission of Redemption. How we prepare for this task is important. We need to strive for repentance, lead lives of prayer and patient endurance, and desire to lis-ten attentively to His voice.

Education Program (PREP)

The primary purpose of our PREP is to assist par-ents in sharing and teaching the Catholic Faith to their children. Parents whose children do not attend Catholic schools should enroll their children in PREP. Instruction is necessary for students attend-ing public schools or private non-Catholic acad-emies in order to receive the Sacraments of Pen-ance, Holy Eucharist and Confirmation. The pro-gram runs from Grade 1 through high school: it does not stop with the reception of Confirmation. We are hoping to have a Junior High Class this year.

In order to prepare for the next school year, we must start now. We need to secure teaching staff, order books and plan for classroom space.

Tuition rates for 2017-18 are: 1 child, $150; 2 chil-dren, $225; 3 or more, $300. There is an additional charge of $25 for families registering after June 30. Contributions for families of children receiving Reconciliation & Holy Eucharist as well as Confir-mation is an additional $60.

Registration forms are available in the Rectory and at the entrances of Church. To register or for more information, contact Sister Mary Beth Geraghty at 215-673-4010. Please return Registration forms and fee to the Rectory.
