What is PSR?

The Parish School of Religion (PSR) is a faith formation and religious education program for Catholic students in grades K-5 who do not attend a Catholic school. The program strives to teach doctrine fully, to foster community, and to prepare students for Christian service.

What are the requirements for receiving Sacraments? 

Sacrament preparation is an important part of the curriculum for eligible children. To receive Reconciliation/First Communion, students must be in 2nd grade or above. To receive Confirmation, students must be in 6th grade or above and attend one full year of classes.

What is Circle of Grace?

Circle of Grace is a safe environment program for children adopted and implemented by the Diocese of Knoxville. The program provides children and parents with information about how to take steps to foster safe environments, wherever they may be. Each PSR class covers the information with an age-appropriate curriculum during one class time in the fall, as well as during a makeup class later in the year. Parents have the option to opt out of sending their children to the lesson, and are welcome to  view the curriculums on the Diocese website at any time.
