Welcome…Thank you for your interest in the

St. Mary Elementary Parish School of Religion Program!

The St. Mary P.S.R. Program is for elementary school aged children who are not attending a Catholic Day School.  Parents are the primary educators of their children in the Catholic Faith. The P.S.R. program exists to assist you in the task of helping your child foster a deeper understanding of their faith and relationship with God. Our textbooks and classroom resources have been approved by the Diocese of Cleveland and we follow the curriculum mapped out by the Diocese.  All of our Catechists are faith-filled and ready to assist the children in learning about and growing in their faith. P.S.R. does not take the place of our Eucharistic Celebration it is important that the students attend Mass on the weekend.

Attendance

Children are expected to attend all classes unless they are sick or for other extraordinary reasons. They are also expected to come to one of the Masses on the weekends preferably with their family.

If the Elyria City Schools are closed due to weather on a Monday, there will be no P.S.R. that evening.  If the weather changes in the afternoon and P.S.R. classes are canceled, it will be announced on the local television channels. Also if St. Mary School is closed during the day there will be no evening P.S.R.

Days/Times

Classes for students in grades 1st through 8th meet on Monday evenings from 6:30 – 7:45pm from September through April. Classes are held in the St. Joseph and Marian Buildings. 

Drop off/Pick up:

Please bring your child to the Cafeteria by 6:30pm and meet them there after class at 7:45pm. All students need to be brought into the Cafeteria through the Main School Door in the Marian Building (under the blue canopy) and picked-up in the Cafeteria after class. We do this for the safety of your child.
