St. Mary Church offers the opportunity for all children who do not attend either the parish school or another Catholic school to receive religious education through our Parish Religious Education Program (PREP). There are two components to PREP: preschool and grade school.

All classes meet on Sunday mornings, starting in mid-September and concluding at the end of April.

Pre-school Classes take place during the 9:30 Mass. They are open to children from ages 3 ½ to 5 (kindergarten).

Grade School Students meet after the 9:30 Mass, from 10:30 until 11:45. The children attend the class for their grade level and receive sacraments on the same track as students in St. Mary School (i.e., Reconciliation and First Communion in grade 2, Confirmation in grade 7). Exceptions may be made based on special circumstances.

Registration for PREP takes place in the summer. Registration forms will be made available after masses and on this website.

For more information about PREP, please contact Mary Anne Bressler, 513-321-1207, ext 5510, or send her an email.
