"SPRED"

Symbolic Religious Education or formally known as “special person’s religious education development”

SPRED is a program of religious education specifically designed to meet the spiritual needs of persons with disabilities. The goal of the program is to provide a community of worship offering individuals an opportunity to grow in their faith. Each friend is paired with a helper catechist. We have a small craft or work activity time to develop our symbol. Some individuals may be able to work independently or may require total assistance, we are here to work beside you or to assist you what ever the need may be. Our symbol is then tied into the bible reading and we join together for prayer and reflection. We use hands on and music during our worship time to make it meaningful for the friends. We are able to accommodate anyone willing to grow in their faith.

The group has been together for the past fifteen years and we are always looking for new friends to join and share with us. We meet on Monday Nights from 6 pm-7 pm, 1-3 times a month, follow the school calendar. We also attend the 9:00 am Fairfield weekend Liturgy together as often as possible. If you have any questions or are interested in the joining our group please call. If no answer please leave a message and I will get back to you. Rose Adams 453-2112
