ST. PETER PARISH SCHOOL OF RELIGION

PSR MISSION STATEMENT

St. Peter Parish School of Religion strives to reach out with today’s living Gospel message to all parish families. Our mission is to provide Catholic religious education for children in Grades 1-8, in the hope that these children and their families, always looking to Jesus as their role model and to the Holy Spirit for guidance, grow in religious knowledge, becoming active in faith and service.

ABOUT OUR PSR PROGRAM

Our PSR program provides formal Catholic religious education in the classroom setting on Wednesday evenings during the school year from 6:30 to 7:30 PM. Students in the program attend area public schools and non-Catholic private schools. Our program continues and supplements the religious formation from parents, who are the first teachers of their children in the ways of the faith.

We assist families in the areas of knowledge of the faith, beliefs and Christian life skills and religious practices, and strengthening the growing relationship with Jesus and his Church. Children in Grade 2 are prepared to receive First Reconciliation. Students in Grade 3 are prepared to receive their First Holy Communion and Confirmation. Any students being Confirmed and/or receiving First Communion will travel to the Cathedral in Springfield.

Children in Grades 4-8 are still encouraged to participate in religious education.
