PSR

St. Mary's PSR program is open to students in grades 1-8.  The program is staffed by a Director and many volunteer catechists and assistants. The Religious Education year spans from September through May.  Throughout the year families have the opportunity to participate in prayer services, service projects and the sacraments.  Students in grades 5-8 meet Mondays from 6:30-7:30pm and students in grades 1-4 meet on Tuesdays 6:30-7:45pm.  Please contact Christine Brooks, Director of Religious Education, if you are interested in registering at cbrooks@stmaryavon.org.

I want to remind all PSR families to please review the handbook, especially the Drop off and Pick up procedures.  Also if you have not submitted the handbook acknowledgement form please fill out the last page acknowledging and agreeing to the policies. 

Parents please remember if your child is absent or needs to be picked up early email Mrs. Brooks at cbrooks@stmaryavon.org.
