Parish School of Religion

This program is designed for families of children attending public schools from Kindergarten through eighth grade. Your enthusiasm for sowing the seeds of faith in your family, whether at Mass, classes, lessons, traditions and policies will speak volumes to your children as they mature in their faith! We hope that our enthusiasm for faith formation is contagious and that you will always feel welcome in our office and program.

Welcome to the Parish School of Religion at Blessed Sacrament. The PSR program fulfills our parish mission statement by offering a quality Catholic education to the children of the parish who attend public schools. We meet each Wednesday evening from 6:30 PM to 7:45 PM from September to mid-May.  Students from first through eighth grades gather to learn the truths of the Catholic faith and how to apply those truths to their daily lives.  Those who are sufficiently prepared in second and eighth grades will receive the Sacraments of Eucharist (Holy Communion in third grade); and Confirmation (in eighth grade).  If you have questions regarding our program, please contact Ms. Lin Williamson.

Our Registration Night took place on Wednesday, September 5, 2018, from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m.  We began our PSR school year on September 19, 2018 with an Open House and Class Orientation.  As in the past, you have the option of registering by printing out the registration forms (on the right side of the page) and returning the completed forms and fee payment to the school or parish office at your convenience.  Please put the forms in an envelope labeled "PSR".  If you have any questions, please contact the PSR Coordinator, Ms. Lin Williamson at williamson@bssbruins.org. 

Class and Mass Attendance

Class and Mass attendance are very important for the children during this formation year. This should be the top priority on the list of things "To Do." We do not want the children to be shortchanged when it comes to this preparation.

PSR Fees

The 2018/19 PSR fees are $50 for the first child and $25 for each additional child.  In addition, eighth graders pay a $30 sacramental fee for Confirmation.  Checks should be made payable to "Blessed Sacrament".

Confirmation

The date for Confirmation is Wednesday, March 20, 2019. This sacrament will take place at 6:30 PM in Blessed Sacrament Church.

Older children with no faith formation background are placed in their regular school grade for the first year of RE. The second year, they are placed in their grade level class and the Special Sacrament class.
