Parish School of Religion (PSR) for Grades K-11
We welcome both parents and children to our religious education process.
The Church teaches that parents are the primary teachers of the Faith to their children. The mission of the Parish School of Religion is to aide you in providing religious education for the age and maturity level of your children. PSR Registration is available ONLINE or in person by appointment. Please email [email protected] to schedule an appointment. Religious education and spiritual formation require more than a casual commitment. The Office of Religious Education offers the formula below to encourage a foundation in our Catholic Faith. When you sign the Registration Form, you commit to and acknowledge these important criteria: 1. Commitment to and registration in the MBS Parish Family. 2. Regular attendance at Sunday Mass as a family. 3. Completion of a Stewardship of Finance Card. 4. Student attendance at religion classes. You will receive detailed information in the Elementary and High School Parent Newsletters which will be emailed to you before classes start in September. 5. A commitment to family prayer. 6. Involvement with parish ministry. 7. A commitment to adult religious education through workshops and seminars offered by MBS Parish and the Diocese of Baton Rouge. |
