R.E.P.

R.E.P. (The Religious Education Program) is a structured curriculum provided for families with children of elementary school age who have chosen a private or public school other than OLV School for the primary education of their children. Three times monthly, children gather with their catechists for formal learning to supplement the ongoing faith formation taking place in their homes. All catechists are volunteers and meet monthly for formation, prayer and support.
