The Family PSR (School of Religion) Program combines weekly at-home parent/child catechesis with a monthly family-centered formation gathering. Parents catechize children using the Called to Faith textbook covering one unit per month. At the end of each unit, children take an assessment test.

The monthly gatherings provide additional family-centered catechesis based on a theme that is carried throughout the year. Each gathering involves a prayer, catechesis, snack, activity and service component. A Family PSR Core team plans each gathering while other families collaboratively facilitate the gatherings using the gifts of the family. Families will be expected to help in the form of hospitality, facilitating, role-playing, creating, teaching, celebrating, praying, caring and sharing.

Important Details!   The format of Family PSR is as follows: There will be an activity waiting for you at your table. When you arrive, you and your children can begin working on this activity. Since parents are the first and main catechists for their children, we are going to do more family led activities, where you as parents are teaching your children. We will then have our break out sessions, followed by snack and another family activity. We will also be sitting in groups this year so we can all get to know each other a little better.   **Please bring a picture of your family to our first session!!**   The Chapter homeworks are assigned that month, and due the following month.   Meets each Sunday from 9:45AM-12:00PM in Mazanec Hall   Because we meet only once a month, it is imperative that you attend every session.
