Special Religious Development SPRED

SPRED is a program in which persons who are developmentally-disabled

come together with a spiritual friend/catechist  to share a  one-to-one

relationship and form with others a small faith community.

 SPRED fosters and nourishes spiritual and personal growth  by helping those with developmental  disabilities discover God’s action and presence in  their lives.

 SPRED gives developmentally-disabled parishioners an  opportunity for celebration and worship.  

SPRED serves age groups from children to adults  (6-10 years old, 11-16 years old,

17-21 years old, and  22 years and older)  in  Holy Cross parish we currently  have three groups of 22+. One group meets on a Wednesday and the other two on a Thursday.

We come together with our friends for 14 sessions  per year to share our faith  through the  Word of  God. We have two family  SPRED Masses per year.
