“I have come so that they might have life and have it more abundantly.” John 10:10
In Partnership with parents and our parish communities, we strive to educate our youth in grades K-8 (St. Joseph), K-8 (St. Edward), and 1-8 (St. Brigid) to know and understand the basic principles of the Catholic faith, to be an active part of our church community, and to empower our youth to act as disciples of Christ by living a virtuous life and leaning on the sacraments for guidance.
​
Children of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome! If you are wanting to be a part of our PSR program, please fill out this registration form.
