Parish School of Religion

Sacred Heart Parish School of Religion (PSR) education program is designed to assist families of children attending public school in their religious education.  The curriculum centers on God’s Good News revealed through Jesus Christ in the Scriptures, in liturgy, in doctrine and in the community and life-experiences of the faithful.  Our hope at Sacred Heart is to create for our students a Christian environment that will assist them in understanding and experiencing the Church as faith community.
