PARISH SCHOOL OF RELIGION (PSR)
9:00 am - 10:15 am in the Youth Center
...
Beginning in fall of 2021, children are to be enrolled in religious education classes the year prior to the year of sacramental reception. This means if a child is to receive First Communion in Grade 2, they are to be enrolled in Grade 1 Parish School of Religion. The same holds true for Confirmation. If your child is to be confirmed in the 9th grade, they are to be enrolled in 8th Grade PSR.
***The Goal of the Saint Mark Parish School Of Religion is to support and assist Parents in the faith journey of their children. Parents, by word and example, are the primary teachers of their children.
We offer the opportunity for faith to come alive for our children through knowledge, prayer and the sacraments. We strive to assist our children in committing themselves to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Saint Mark provides religious education for four year old through 9th grade in the Youth Center.
Sunday 4 yrs to 8th grade 9:00 A.M. to 10:15 A.M. Wednesday 9th Grade Confirmation Class 7:00 P.M. to 8:15 P.M.
