General Information:
Christ the King Catholic Church Religious Education Programs are designed to help Catholic parents in their responsibility of fulfilling the promises made at their child’s baptism for the child’s religious education and faith formation. As a parent, the Church sees you as your child’s primary teacher in the way of faith. Therefore, PREP or the Parish Religious Education Program at Christ the King is a resource to help support, supplement and compliment the faith formation and practices that begin in your home, not to replace your efforts!
In an effort to aide you, the parent, in registering you child in PREP, this packet is designed to simplify the process. An explanation for each sheet is provided below. However, if you have any difficulties in completing the packet, please call the Church office. PLEASE NOTE SOME PAGES ARE PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES.
· Family Information Sheet – This sheet will provide all the information on your family including address, mailing information, phone contact numbers, etc. We ask that you include your email address so we can keep in touch with you regarding events and keep you up to date with what your children are learning each week. This is a two sided sheet.
· PREP Registration Sheet – This sheet provides a place for each child’s information. All information must be accurate to provide the best possible religious education training for your child.
· Family Registration Form – This is an optional form to be completed by those registering for PREP who are NOT registered members of Christ the King Catholic Church. The first question you should ask yourself in determining if your family is a registered member: Do I receive and use envelopes for offertory collections? If the answer is yes, then you are registered and can omit this form. If the answer is no, then consider completing this form. An additional charge is found on the PREP FEES sheet for non-parishioners. Non-parishioners must place an “X” in the box on this Family Registration form indicating that they do not wish to register with this parish. Call the Church office to verify parish registration at 478 – 0213.
· PREP Fee Schedule Form – Please include the payment according to the fee schedule as explained on this form. Checks are to be made payable to: Christ the King Catholic Church. As noted on this form, monthly payments can be made with total due by January 1, 2014.
**Other required information: All returned registration packets must be complete before a child is placed in a course. A copy of a new student’s Baptismal Certificate is also required. This is necessary for all records. Returning students will be informed by the Coordinator if a copy of their Baptismal Certificate is needed.
Sacramental Prayer Mentor Sheets – This form is only to be completed for students in the 2nd grade sacramental preparatory course for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist and 11th grade students preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
