SPRED: Special Religious Education

 

SPRED communities begin 2011-2012 sessions in the fall, as do training sessions and opportunities to observe as part of a formation process. St. Benedict SPRED ministry invites young people age 11-16. We need adult volunteers before we can invite our friends with special needs into our SPRED small faith communities. Our St. Benedict group needs four volunteers. Please consider this enriching ministry for all involved. Join us at our Tuesday information meeting in the SPRED Room. If interested, contact Mary Sue Wielgus at 773-588-6484 x339 or at marysue@stbenedict.com.
