Your family is invited to a NEW PSR based on the Sunday Gospel and designed to help you and your children grow in faith SIMPLY and SAFELY in your own home, with optional in-person Family Faith and Fun events.

FAMILY FAITH FORMATION

St. Mary’s NEW PSR program follows Liturgical Catechesis, which means each of the weekly lessons flows from the words of Jesus in the Sunday Gospels. Children learn their faith - including formation in doctrine, sacraments, commandments, and prayer - within the rhythms and seasons of the Liturgical Year, encouraging a growing participation in the life of the parish community. 

Registration is open for families with children in grades K - 5, with an option to add children in Preschool and grades 6-7-8 (yes, there will still be an Edge program - your child can do both.) Registration includes:

• Gospel Weekly lessons for each child.
• What the Church Believes and Teaches Catechism handbook for each child.
• Easy to follow weekly parent page on leading a family discussion of the Gospel.
• Drive-thru "Pick-up Parties" 4 times a year to receive the above materials along with religious articles, crafts and family activities to help you pray and celebrate the feasts and seasons of our Church at home. The first Drive-Thru Pick-up will be Tuesday, September 22 OR Tuesday, September 29, any time between 5:30 -7:00 pm.
• Four optional Family Faith and Fun events (in October, December, February and April) all conducted within the safety protocols in place at our parish at the time. October will be an outdoor, socially-distanced family Rosary Walk. December will be a special evening drive-thru Nativity experience!
• Optional Zoom parent sessions to help you how you need it most this year.
• Optional online video content to enhance each week's lesson.
• Service opportunities throughout the year, including a Virtual Day of Service.
• Monthly call from a St. Mary Catechist (teacher) to offer parent support.
