Dear Parent,
We are pleased to announce our Family Ministry Program,
which is an alliance between Adult
Faith and the Parish Religious Education Program (PREP). Starting this
September, this new and exiting program will be offered here at St. David
the King.
As you
know, parents are the key to their children’s faith foundation;
therefore we have developed a number of new programs to help you foster
that spiritual growth as a family.
Due to Liturgical schedules next year, we have
shortened our yearly PREP class time, from 30 days to 25 days. In order to
meet the Diocesan directive of 30 days per year, we are offering you and
your family a variety of programs to meet this requirement.
You and your children will be asked to attend/participate in at
least three (3) of the programs that best suite your interests or needs.
We understand the time commitment and schedule
challenges of our families. The
advantage of this program is that families with children in different
grades can all attend the same session. Please
see the attached schedule.
We will be meeting with you in early September to
fully explain our new Family Ministry Program and hope that you shared our
excitement!
Peace, Joy and Love,
Brother Robert

Family Ministry- Spiritual Formation ~~~ WORKSHEET
The Life of Discipleship is a Spiritual Journey, one which we do not make in isolation.
We are true companions who share with each other the Bread of Life. As a Community of Disciples, St. David the King offers a wide variety of experiences to enrich our personal and communal spirituality.
These programs are offered to all people in our community as a way to deepen their faith.
However, each PREP family must satisfy the following requirement:
PREP Requirement :
Each student must fulfill three programs during the Liturgical Year to satisfy their PREP Catechetical Requirements
The following is a description of programs offered at St. David the King
