SPRED is a program in which persons who are developmentally disabled come together with a spiritual friend/- catechist to share a one-on-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 and prepares them for the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Holy Eucharist, and Confirmation) and Penance (Confession).
