Religious Education
Our Lady of Good Help, St Theresa's Church and St. Patrick's Church offer a consolidated Religious Education program led by our highly experienced director and the pastor.
The goal of the Religious Education program is to bring children and young adults to know Jesus Christ. While parents are the primary teachers of religion to their children, sacramental preparation and the education of our young people in Catholic principles, faith and tradition is of tremendous importance to the parish.
We encourage in our young people an enthusiasm for their faith and seek to aid families in living as Christians wherever we can.
For more information about the program, contact 401-568-8280.
Adult Sacramental Preparation
For adults seeking information, adult Catholics needing first sacraments, or those considering conversion to the Catholic faith, please call the parish office at 401-568-8280 or email the pastor at pastorolghsp@gmail.com
SPRED
SPRED is an international religious education program designed for persons with developmental disabilities. It brings religion to those who might have difficulty being included in traditional religious education. At SPRED sessions, a small community of faith is a shared experience with catechists and special friends.
Who can participate in SPRED?
Anyone with developmental disabilities ages six and older may participate. Age groups include 6-10, 11-16, 17-21, and 22 years and over. Each special friend is paired up with a helper catechist from his or her local Church. Generally, a group has up to six special friends each paired with a helper catechist; an activity catechist; and a leader catechist. At our parish we currently have a group for persons who are 22 years and older.
