SPRED (Special Religious Development) is a program of the Archdiocese of Chicago whose purpose is two-fold: the inclusion of the developmentally disabled 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 St. Giles Campus and we offer 2 programs for:
- Ages 6-10 Years Old – Classes are offered twice a month on Wednesday from 6-7:15 pm
- Adults 22 Years Old and Older – Classes are offered once a month on Mondays from 6:30-8:15 pm
SPRED OPEN HOUSE – Wednesday, September 20 at 6 pm in the SPRED room on St. Giles Campus (6-10 years old).
