SPRED is a ministry for developmentally disabled children and adults. The SPRED mission is to help our friends feel the Spirit of Christ and develop a sense of the Sacred, a sense of God. A child enters SPRED at approximately age 6 and continues for all of their adult life.

St Linus does have a SPRED group of volunteers. We help developmentally disabled children from ages 6 to 10 feel the presence of God. Do you know someone who needs us in their life?

We also help to place children older than 10, and adults, in other churches with a SPRED ministry for their age group.

WE NEED YOUR HELP - Our SPRED group (Religious Ed for special needs children) is in search of two new volunteers. One of these could be you. We meet approximately 24 Tuesdays throughout the year from 6:30 to 8 pm from late September to mid-May.
