Baptismal Preparation
This ministry helps parents to prepare for their child's Baptism.  In a small group, parents discuss the meaning of Baptism and the importance of their role in nurturing the faith of their children.  Parents are informed of the Catholic requirements for Godparents and the particulars for having a Baptism at St. Peter Damian Parish.  It is recommended that parents attend the Baptismal Preparation Class before their baby arrives.  Contact the parish office to schedule a class. 

Children's Liturgy of the Word
We invite the children at the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday to partake in the Liturgy of The Word for Children. After the opening of the liturgy the 3 through 9 year old children are invited to Hardy Hall. During the time the adult assembly hears the Word of God, the Scripture is presented to the children on their level. After all have heard the Word of God, the children rejoin their parents and the parish commnity for the remaining celebration.  For more information contact Pat Juvingo in the Religious Education office at 630-830-2295.

Religious Education Program
The Religious Education Program (REP) at St. Peter Damian is founded on the belief that the primary responsibility for spiritual growth and development of children rests first and foremost with their parents. Through a formalized program of regular classroom lessons, liturgies and other religious celebrations directed by the pastor and the REP Board, the program attempts to help the parents fulfill this God-given responsibility. The program begins with preschoolers at age 4 and 5, and continues through senior high school. For registration information contact Wendy Hendrickson or Pat Juvingo in the REP office at 630-830-2295.
