The religious education and sacramental preparation are two separate entities. Therefore parochial, private and public school students must register for  sacramental preparation.

Students who are eligible for the sacramental preparation programs and attend a parochial school must prepare for and receive the sacraments in their own church parish and not the parochial school they attend. 

PSR Registration Forms are available in the Parish and Faith Formation Offices, pamphlet rack in the Gather Space, ONLINE through ParishSoft, or may be printed here. Complete the form and return to the Faith Formation Office with payment.

If your child will be making their First Reconciliation/First Eucharist or Confirmation next year, you will also have to PRINT and fill out Sacrament Preparation Registration here OR fill it out online.
