The Church of Saint Patrick Parish provides a comprehensive program of Catholic Education for children, teens, and adults. 

The St. Patrick PREP program is excited to  welcome back Students in Grades 1-8 to in-person instruction this year. Classes will be held on Sundays after the 10 am Mass beginning September 11, 2022.  Registration forms are available in the back of Church, here on our Parish
website, or by contacting  the  Parish Office. Deadline for registration is  September 11, 2022.

Catechists are needed for the 2022-2023 PREP program. All those interested in teaching our PREP classes this year, whether you’re returning or newly interested, are asked to please contact Fr. Phil by calling the Parish Office.

PREP Coordinator – Kris Barron has agreed to serve the St. Patrick PREP Program for the 2022-2023 academic year.  Gratitude is extended to  Ms.  Barron for her willingness to coordinate our program.

Jesus' own words, “Let the children come to me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as there”(MT 19:14) serves as a model for our religious education program. Our mission is to help the children and youth of the Church of Saint Patrick understand who God calls them to be on their paths to obtain the ultimate goal- to be with God in Heaven. 

​Class Cancellations
In the event that classes need to be cancelled due to inclement weather, please call Ms. Barron at 
570-516-6309.

Parents:  Please make sure to read the Handbook and Safe Environment letter that were sent home with the students.  It is imperative that we receive the signed lower portion of the Safe Environment letter, indicating your permission to teach this curriculum.  These came to you in the student’s Take Home Folders. Also, please remember to return your student’s Take Home Folders each week in order for us to refill them with important communication/information for you to review. 
 
Students may bring one small snack (that can be eaten without utensils) and a bottle of water if they missed breakfast before Mass. We don't want our kiddos to be hungry and distracted! 
 
Homeschooled children must be registered in PREP and are required to use the same textbooks as those being used by PREP students. Please contact Ms. Barron for more information. 

Children who will be receiving the Sacraments of Penance, First Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation are REQUIRED to attend PREP classes. 

Our 2022 Catholic Kids Camp was held July 18-22, and the children had a ball!

Our kids learned all about the Seven Sacraments through the theme "Wilderness Adventures". 
  
Through games, crafts, songs, and snacks, everyone learned how important each of the Sacraments is, and the grace we receive through them.   The week ended with a lesson about the Sacraments of Holy Orders and Matrimony followed  by a Wedding reception with food, dancing, and fun!

As a service project, the children collected pillows for our local homeless shelter "Servants to All".

We look forward to our 2023 Catholic Kids Camp!
