Parish Religion Program (PRP)

Parish Religion Program (PRP) teaches God's story of love and salvation, building faith formation for children who attend public schools or for anyone who wants to engage in faith discussions.

Sunday Winter Session PRP for Grades K-8 - Our engaging Sunday PRP is adding a new Kindergarten class this year! Sunday PRP is an opportunity to meet with friends, discuss faith topics guided by trained catechists, and walk through the liturgical year together (September - April) building the students' relationship to Jesus. We use Sophia Institute's Spirit of Truth Series with prayer, games, songs, crafts, and textbook activities to explore the beauty of God and the goodness contained in the Truths of the Catholic faith.

We meet each Sunday morning from 10:45am to 12:15pm.
September 12, 2021 to April 24, 2022
Grades K–8 attend in the school.

Sunday PRP Fees: 1 Child= $140 2 Children= $195 3 or more=$230

Summer PRP (Parish Religion Program) for Grades 1-8: Our fun Summer PRP Program is a 2-week condensed experience for children with singing, faith sharing, crafts, and friends. We use the Sophia Institute Spirit of Truth Series as our basic text, but it needs to be supplemented by parents during the rest of the year. We offer parents a Community Experience on the theme this year of Theology of the Body through the resource LoveEd. As the pandemic continues to limit the number of adults who can safely gather, we will gather by grade level for about an hour. Due to the amount of material covered each day, please select the Sunday Winter PRP option if your child has appointments during PRP time or has to miss more than 1 day

Summer PRP I: June 14-25, 2021 (Mon – Fri) 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM each day

Summer PRP II: July 26-Aug 6, 2021 (Mon – Fri) 9:00 AM - 1:30 PM each day

Parent Community Experiences will be offered by grade level this year. The times/dates will be in the Welcome Handbook for Summer PRP.

If your child has cannot attend any of the above PRP options, please contact Donna Wenstrup at 513-388-4189 or donnaw@ihom.org for other options.
