Welcome to the Parish School of Religion (PSR) at St. Peter’s!
Throughout the world, Catholic parishes offer religious formation programs for young people. One arm of this outreach is through the ministry and mission of Catholic Schools. The other arm (no less important than the first) is through Parish Schools of Religion (PSR). In years gone by, PSR was known by other names—“CCD”, or “catechism classes”, or “Sunday school”, or simply “instructions”—but the focus remains the same: to inspire children to lives of faith, to prepare children for the sacraments, to build community with peers, and to assist Christian parents in fulfilling their duties to “train their children in the practice of the faith”—a solemn promise you made at your child’s baptism. Parish Schools of Religion equip young people to take their place in the community as good Christians, good citizens, good parents, and even as good priests and religious for tomorrow’s Church. Our own pastor, Fr. Dan Bergbower, was a graduate of a Parish School of Religion.
