Parish School of Religion

​The Parish School of Religion is designed for students in Kindergarten through 12th grade who attend public school.  The heart of our program is a team of parents and volunteers, working with our pastor and a Director, to provide a well-run program.

The Parish School of Religion.
The mission of our Parish School of Religion (PSR) is to provide religious education programs that enable a family to come to a better understanding of the message of Christ.  This is done through a Christian community of instructors who guide them to worship, to pray and to serve others.

PSR Staff:
The heart and soul of our PSR program is a team of well-trained parent and volunteer instructors, assistants and choir directors. The team works together under the guidance of our pastor, the Director of Religious Education and a Cathechesis of The Good Shepherd Formation Leader.
