SPRED (SPecial Religious DEvelopment) forms small communities of faith to welcome persons with developmental disabilities in order to foster participation in parish assemblies of worship. The SPRED ministry at St. Visitation is a small faith-sharing community making a difference in the lives of children with developmental disabilities. We help them grow in their faith, while deepening our own.  If you know adults interested in becoming volunteer catechists, or know of someone who would benefit from SPRED please contact Melanie Schneider for more information at (630) 209-0064 .
