PSR (Parish School of Religion) is the religious education program for students in kindergarten through 8th grade, and includes Sacramental preparation for a student's first Reconciliation, Eucharist (2nd grade) and Confirmation (8th grade).
Children of families registered in the parish are welcomed and encouraged to participate in any of our classes. If your family is registered in another parish, your pastor has canonical responsibility for your children's faith formation, and we will need a note or letter of "delegation" from him of that responsibility.
Regular PSR classes are offered on Monday evenings from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM, beginning with Mass the Monday before Labor Day and concluding the Monday before Memorial Day.
