The mission of the Office 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.

Register your students for religious education classes
in Grades K-8
 

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

1. Students attending St. Joseph's Catholic School or another Catholic school receive religious formation training for each grade, K - 8, within the programs of their school.  

2. Students attending public schools must register each year, K - 8 grade, to receive proper credit for their religious formation training through PREP.

   • Online Registration for PREP 2019-2020  is closed. Please contact the ARE at 904-880-6404 x 122 if you need assistance or have any questions.

   • Both First Holy Communion and Confirmation require two years of sacramental preparation so please plan accordingly.  Communion: 1st and 2nd Grades.  Confirmation:  7th and 8th Grades.

   • See below for Office of Religious Education contacts.

3. Students attending full-time home-schooling classes must register with the St. John Paul II Home School (JPII) program.  Contact info for the JPII program:  www.stjosephsjax.org/jpii-homeschool-1

• Registration for PREP is required, each year K-8, for students in this full-time home-school program because a record of the student's religious education and sacrament preparation is kept by the parish..
