The Parish School of Religion (PSR) is a vibrant, growth filled program intended to meet the needs of its students. The program is designed for the children of our parish who attend schools without formal religious education as part of the curriculum. PSR aims to educate and form these students in our faith including preparing them for the reception of the sacraments as well as deepening and reinforcing knowledge of their religion and values for living. Parents are reminded that they are the primary educators of their children in the ways of faith. The PSR faculty, consisting of parent volunteers and Holy Infant staff, is there to help them fulfill this responsibility. We look forward to working closely with every family to help provide a Christ-filled school year!

Welcome to Holy Infant’s Parish School of Religion!
We want to emphasize that as parents of a PSR student, you are invaluable to this program. You are the first teachers of your children and that no one knows them better or loves them more than you do. It is our goal, therefore, to work with you to support the faith formation of your child.
Our PSR program balances religious instruction with the experiences of Catholic community, service, and worship throughout the year. We strive to meet the needs and understanding of all children and families, recognizing that there are varying degrees of catechetical background, understanding, and experiences.
All children want to know that there’s a God out there who hears, understands, and loves them and they want to know that we as a Church listen, understand, and love them as well, and are eager to accompany them on their journey of faith. We strive to educate our children and families in the Catholic faith; assist parents in forming their children’s ongoing spiritual development; and finally, being an instrument in transforming these children into Catholic Christian citizens with a strong faith on which to base their future spiritual growth, and to enable them to be evangelizers to the communities in which they will live. All that is accomplished by the grace of the Holy Spirit.

VOLUNTEER
Service is a vital part of the Christian experience and so we are asking each family to become involved in our PSR Program. As your children see you using your talents to help others, they will be encouraged to do the same and our PSR Program will be even better than it is already.
Please complete the Parent Volunteer Form and return it with your registration paperwork.
Holy Infant PSR follows the Archdiocese of St. Louis Safe Environment Program (Protecting God’s Children/Prevent and Protect STL). The program is designed to help protect the youth, elderly, and vulnerable adults of our parish as they participate in activities within our community. This process also provides a layer of protection against the possibility of false accusations for those adults who are involved in our many ministries. You will need to be in compliance with Prevent and Protect STL in order to volunteer.
