Parish School of Religion

The Parish School of Religion (PSR) provides catechetical instruction to children and youth so they can grow in intimacy with Jesus, be knowledgeable about their faith, and integrate the teachings of the Gospel into their lives. Parish religion programs also prepare youth for the reception of first sacraments. For over 150 years with hundreds of students, our program hopes to assist parents in the faith formation of their children.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." -Psalm 119:105

Register your child in grades K-8 for our Parish School of Religion, or PSR, in the church Library immediately after the 9:00am Mass on August 25 or September 1.  Classes start Sunday, September 8. Classes meet in the Academy building (next door to the church) from 10:05am. to 11:15am.

Tuition remains at $60 per student ($80 per student after September 15), or a flat fee of $150 for three or more children enrolling.

The PSR assists parents – the primary educators of their children – with classes that teach about liturgy and sacrament, prayer, church history, morality and the Christian community, and evangelization and apostolic life.

Students in Grade 2 will prepare specifically for First Holy Eucharist in May 2020, while students in Grades 7/8 will prepare for Confirmation in Spring, 2021. 

As parents are the primary educators of their children, and play a unique and irreplaceable role in their child’s spiritual life, we require all PSR children and their parents to be registered parishioners at St. Ann’s Church and to attend Sunday Mass each week. Parents will also be expected to participate in the religious education of their children in various ways throughout the year.

To register your child for religious education classes, you will need to complete the following requirements:

• Initial meeting with DRE to discuss class placement
• Registration as members of St. Ann’s Church
• PSR Registration Form (one per family)
• Annual tuition payment
• Copy of Baptism Certificate for each child
