PSR is for all public school children in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. This program instructs the children in the Catholic faith and enables them to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion (2nd grade) and Confirmation 7th & 8th grade). This year the children will be home schooled.

Adult Faith Formation Sessions are offered periodically throughout the year. All sessions offered are advertised in the church bulletin and usually meet in the Parish Life Center. In the past we have offered a morning session as well as well as an evening session so we can accommodate as many people as possible.
Currently we are learning about the history of the Church.

What is RCIA?
It is a process in which adults become full members of the Roman Catholic Church. It is the chance for people to learn the basics of what it means to be Catholic, to ask questions, and seek ways to more fully open their lives to Jesus Christ. Through a series of sessions and rites, we will accompany you on faith journey.
What if I have never belonged or been baptized in another faith?
There are many reasons for a person to seek more information on the Catholic faith. If you need to be baptized and accept the Cahtolic teachings, you will be fully initiated at the Easter Vigil by receiving the Sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation. The decision to change from another religion is one that requires a deep spiritual commitment and is not taken ligfhtly. If you should decide to accept Catholicism, we would honor your valid baptism and you would receive the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation.
What commitment is there?
Our sessions start the beginning of September and continue on until three weeks after Easter. We meet on Thursday evenings in the Parish Life Center from 7-8:30. All you need to bring is an open heart and mind. RCIA is more than learning facts and history, it is about conversion. Conversion is a lifelong process. It is growing in our relationship with God. It is the beginning of your faith journey.
How do you get started?
The process begins with a personal interview to determine how we can best serve your spiritual needs. You would then attend sessions every week to learn more about the Catholic faith. If you should decide that the Catholic faith is not for you or you are not ready to make that commitment, it is okay. There is never any pressure to make a commitment you are not ready for. We walk as companions on your faith journey.
