Sow and Reap is a self-evaluation tool that serves to affirm parishes that have taken seriously the Religious Education policies of the Archdiocese. Parishes will see how they are in compliance and determine what needs attention. 

Working with the process will measure the current quality and promote continuous improvement. It is not meant to be competitive but rather an affirmation of the parish efforts to make religious education living, conscious and active.

Please contact your regional Office of Evangelization and Catechesis for further information and a copy of the process.
