For our parishioners, we offer two options for religious education. The first is our traditional weekly Parish Religious Education Program (PREP), which meets on Tuesdays in either an afternoon session (4:20 – 5:35 p.m.) or an evening session (6:15 – 7:30 p.m.). Classes begin on September 8, 2026, and continue through April 27, 2027.

 Our second option is the Sacred Heart Immersion Religious Education Program (S.H.I.R.E.), a year-long faith formation experience that begins with a weeklong student immersion from June 22-26, 2026, held daily from 8:50 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. The program continues throughout the academic year with six Sunday faith formation sessions, providing students and their families with ongoing opportunities to deepen their relationship with Christ and grow in their Catholic faith.

Online registration for the 2026-2027 PREP year opens Monday, July 13, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.

Classes begin on Tuesday, September 8, 2026.
