SPRED (Special Religious Development) is a program, created in the Archdiocese of Chicago, which trains and guides parishes to provide faith formation to persons with developmental disabilities and/or learning problems and become integrated into parish life. This is accomplished through small communities of faith at the parish level.

This website was created to provide information to those interested in offering spiritual enrichment to persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities. 


​Welcome Visitors
We are Queen of Angels SPRED at Queen of Apostles Parish.  


We , in SPRED,  celebrate the unique gift and beauty of each person and all that brings us together.

In Loving Memory of our SPRED Founder, Rev. James McCarthy, we present The Spirit of SPRED.
