The PSR Process is held on Sunday mornings during the school year from 9:30 a.m. – 10:40 a.m. in the school building. Registration forms are available in the Parish Hall during the month of August. Saint Mary Coordinator of Religious Education, Jacquelyn Knox, and PSR teachers will be available after all Masses on the fourth weekend in August for PSR Registration.

Sacramental Preparation

Reconciliation and First Communion - “ Holy Family Process”

Holy Family is the sacramental preparation process for parish families with children preparing to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. The first session is the parent/guardian. Together, we will explore the sacraments and gain a greater understanding of how the reception of these gifts enrich and nourish us in our daily lives. We are required by the Diocese of Cleveland to provide this faith formation process.

Children will be instructed by their teachers in the PSR Process and the Saint Mary Day School. Children who were unable to receive the sacraments in Second Grade will be meeting with Mrs. Yoders during PSR for their instruction. We will provide the proper catechesis required for your children to be fully prepared to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion.

Registration for Reconciliation, First Communion and Family Faith Formation opportunities will be in September.

Confirmation

The Sacrament of Confirmation celebrated in our parish on a yearly basis. Parishioners in Grade 9 and above – including interested adults may register for the Confirmation Process during mid November and throughout the month of December. Check the bulletin for additional information.
