Let all the children come unto me, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
Matthew 19:14
Forming your children in the Catholic faith is one of the most important responsibilities entrusted to you as a parent. As your child’s primary catechist, you are not expected to do this work alone. St. Paul Parish offers several programs to support and accompany you as you help your children grow in faith, prayer, and their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our parish offers three options to partner with parents in forming their children in faith. More information on each is available further down the page:- Sunday PREP (Parish Religious Education Program)
- Summer Academy (Summer Intensive)
- St. Paul School (Parish School)
These programs each also integrate preparation for the sacraments celebrated in Grade 2 (First Reconciliation and First Eucharist) and Grade 8 (Confirmation). Sacramental preparation is a parish-based process and includes children enrolled in all of the above programs.
If you are interested in learning more or volunteering with this ministry, please connect with us at the bottom of this page and our coordinators will follow up with you.

St. Paul School provides students with a daily, cross-curricular model of faith formation, fully integrating the Catholic faith throughout the school day. Through prayer, religious instruction, sacramental life, and Catholic teaching woven across academics and school life, faith becomes an essential part of each student’s education.
As part of their enrollment at St. Paul School, students have the opportunity to prepare for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in Grade 2 and Confirmation in Grade 8 through our parish-wide sacramental preparation process. Grade 2 and Grade 8 St. Paul School students must register for sacramental preparation below and participate in Acts of Faith alongside other children and families preparing for these sacraments.
Families of students preparing for sacraments in Grades 2 and 8 can visit our Sacramental Preparation page to learn more about the additional formation and requirements associated with those sacramental years.
