PREP (Religious Education)

The mission of the Office of the Administrator of Religious Education is to spread the meaning and hope in Jesus Christ,
whom God the Father has sent into the world for the salvation of all peoples.

"The role of parents in education is of such importance that it is almost impossible to provide an adequate substitute."  (CCC #2221)
