We encourage you to have your children continue their religious education each year. Please remember that a student must have one full year of religious education prior to receiving a sacrament. At St. Bede the Venerable Parish, children receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion in Grade 2 and the Sacrament of Confirmation in Grade 7.
If you are a new family and would like to register your children in our CCD/PREP program, please call us at 215-357-2130 or email Shawn Tobin stobin@st-bede.org or Rose Nolan at rnolan@st-bede.org
A baptismal certificate is required for every new child being registered in our program. The certificate must show the parish seal and notations. The family must be officially registered in the parish. If you are not registered yet, please meet with one of our priests after Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday morning. We also require records of previous religious education for anyone entering grade 2 or higher.
Please call the Religious Education Office (215.357.2130) or email Shawn Tobin, Director of Religious Education, at stobin@st-bede.org if you require additional information regarding our CCD/PREP program.
