SPRED (Special Religious Development) prepares persons with intellectual disabilities to fully belong in the liturgical life of the parish.  Persons with and without disabilities form a small faith community. Within the community, our friends are invited to experience an activity of their choice like clay, painting or other centering activity to prepare their hearts to develop a sense of the sacred.  

 

The word of God is shared, reflection on life experiences with the use of symbols and a simple meal is enjoyed with their mentor or helper catechist.
