SPRED (Special Religious Development) is a program of the Archdiocese of Chicago whose purpose is two-fold: the inclusion of the developmentally challenged into the liturgical and community faith life of the parish and the formation of a small faith community where both special friends and their catechists nurture their faith.
The SPRED program is located at the Giles Campus and we offer 3 different programs based on age:
- Ages 6-10 Years Old – Classes are offered once a month on Wednesday from 5:15 to 6:30 pm
- Ages 11-16 Years Old – Classes are offered once a month on Thursday from 5:15 to 6:30 pm
- Adults 22+ – Classes are offered once a month on Mondays from 6:30 to 8:15 pm
2024-2025 SPRED Classes begin the week of September 16, 2024
