St. Madeline Parish Religious Education Program is religious instruction or formation of our parishioners from ages 3 to 17. Having the guidelines from the Catechism of the Catholic Church as its basis, the mission of the St. Madeline Parish Religious Education Program is to reinforce the knowledge of the faith and the love of God introduced to the child in the home by the parents as primary educators.

Information for 2026-2027 PREP

This coming year, we will be offering 2 different programs. Our Traditional program will be held on Tuesday afternoons weekly from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm in St. James Regional School. Our NEW Family Catechesis program will be held on Tuesday evenings once a month from 6:15 pm until 7:30 pm in St. James Regional School. The cost of both programs is $175 for 1 child and $200 for 2 or more children.

Both Programs will use the “Word of Life” curriculum from the Augustine Institute. There will be a textbook component and an online component. Access to the online material runs from July to June. A valid email address is required for access to the online component. “Word of Life” provides online program support for Parents and Catechists as well as materials to increase the understanding of the faith and the lessons for each chapter.

Catechists are needed for both programs. If you are interested in becoming a Catechist and teaching about our faith, contact the rectory for more information - -610.532.6880.
