PREP (CCD)

Saint Jerome’s Faith Formation Ministry recognizes and embraces parents in their role as the primary teachers of their children’s faith. We strive to assist parents in the fulfillment of this special role.

Our vocation is to help each child develop a personal relationship/friendship with Jesus through prayer, knowledge, moral formation, participation in the Church, and the cultivation of his/her missionary spirit.  Our ministry helps families weave their Catholic identity through every day life.

The program includes three components:
1. One week of full day instruction during the summer (6/16/2025 through 6/23/2025) for the child

2.  Family attendance at the four Sunday Family Faith session (parent faith sharing session and children class)

3.  Family participation in five devotionals/spiritual experiences and five service projects throughout the year

4.  Regular participation at the Saturday Vigil or Sunday Mass and Holy Days. 

Below is the PREP at a Glance booklet for more information and the PREP re-registration (for returning families) and the PREP registration form (for new families or returning families with a new child to add).
