WORDSFROM FR. SORGIE
Each PREP family is required to buy a 2021 Bonanza Lottery Ticket which gives you the opportunity to repeatedly win up to $20,000!
Two tickets are drawn for two $200 prizes for 32 weeks. Winning tickets are reentered for all subsequent drawings! Tickets are $50 each and available in the Parish and PREP Offices. This fulfills what I see as a fundraising obligation to keep PREP and our other parish activities going.”

WHY GOSPEL WEEKLIES?
-
LISTENING TO YOUR STRESS AND WORRY, WE CHOOSE GOSPEL WEEKLIES!
- Flexibility! There are four versions, based on the age and grade of the child.
- HOPE! We want to SUPPORT families as we navigate COVID-19. GWs focus on the Eucharist and the Bible! What better way to give hope than through a simple resource that spurs family conversation about the Mass and the Gospel.
- Safety! No Touch! GWs can be emailed. ICA Parish has purchased a license for every child using GWs. Because of copyright law, they may not be posted on the website. To do so, we would violate copyright law. Note: If you are not receiving the GWs or know someone who isn’t, call the PREP Office so we can remedy the situation.
- Strong Bonds! GWs help families strengthen their bonds with each other and, most of all, with the Lord Jesus.
- Mass! The Eucharist is the source and the summit of who we are as the People of God. During these trying times, we need GOD! We need the strength that only Jesus can give in and through the Eucharist.
- Faith! The more you know someone, the more you love them! We chose GWs as a simple way of teaching what we as Catholics believe because of what Jesus revealed to us.

WHAT IS CATECHESIS?
".At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father. . .who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever."
To catechize is "to reveal in the Person of Christ the whole of God's eternal design reaching fulfilment in that Person. It is to seek to understand the meaning of Christ's actions and words and of the signs worked by him."
-
catechesis aims at putting people...
. . . in communion . . . with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity."
