PSR Classes
Students will be required to wear a face mask, practice social distancing and wash hands frequently. There will be temperature checks upon entering the Parish Hall. PSR families will be asked to attend Mass live-streamed in the Parish Hall due to COVID guidelines (temperature checks, social distancing and handwashing). Following Mass, students will stay in the Parish Hall for instruction in the faith and families will not be allowed to socially gather in the hall after Mass and class. As usual, students are provided a 15-minute break for snacks. Instruction concludes at 11:15 a.m., at which time students are released to parents through a carpool line which files past the front door of the Parish Hall.

New students, please read below for important document requirements and
general information regarding PSR classes.The Religious Education Program at Sts. Peter and Paul is a comprehensive one
which includes pre-school through adult levels of instruction.
YOUTH EDUCATION:We are concerned not merely with the imparting of information, but also with the formation and development of faith as a response to the Word of God. Religious education provided by the parish serves to supplement, not supplant, the primary right and holy duty of the parents to educate their child in the Faith within the home.
ENROLLMENT INFORMATION:
All students are welcome to join us for religious education PSR Classes (Pre-K through High School). Classes are on Sundays and begin with the students attending 8:30 a.m. Mass with their families. The registration fee for PSR is $25 per child each year ($40 for First Communion Class in Grade 2 and $40 for Confirmation Class in Grade 11). Discreet accommodations are available. Registration fees for all programs include books and supplies used during the year. The program is progressive (one year building upon another). Registration takes place in early to mid-August each year. Please contact the church office regarding the exact date or check the church bulletin if not yet posted on the website for the current year.
New Students: Forms are available at the church entrances and in the Church Office or can be printed online and returned to the Church Office.
New students will need the following documents:- Parish Census Form (if not previously registered with the parish)
- Baptismal and First Communion certificates
- Proof of prior religious training through a Catholic School or approved PSR program
- Registration fee
Returning Students: Pre-printed registration forms will be available at the registration desk or in the Church Office. Registration fee is due at the time of registration.
FIRST RECONCILIATION AND FIRST EUCHARIST:
These sacraments are generally celebrated for the first time in the second grade. Two years of continuing religious education is expected.
CONFIRMATION:
This sacrament is bestowed upon juniors in high school.ADULT EDUCATION:
Sts. Peter and Paul Parish is committed to the belief that adult religious education is essential to the faith of mature Catholics. In this era of change and re-evaluation, it is important for Catholics to be aware of the true and ever-constant teachings of the Church. Even more importantly, these adult programs can be a means of growth in one’s own spiritual life. See RCIA website page HERE.
In addition to adult religious education programs offered by the parish, parishioners are encouraged to participate, if at all possible, in workshops and courses offered in area parishes and seminaries.Information concerning education programs offered through the parish, or elsewhere,
can be obtained by calling the Church Office at (985) 863-7935.

“The future of the world and the Church belongs to the younger generation, to those who, born in this century, will reach maturity in the next, the first century of the new millennium. Christ expects great things from young people.”
– words spoken by Pope John Paul II in his Apostolic Letter, Tertio Millennio Adveniente (On the Coming of the Third Millennium).
