Parish School of Religion (PSR)

Plan for PSR in Light of Covid-19

In light of Covid-19, St. Luke the Evangelist is taking precautions to minimize the spread of disease and keep all of our students safe, while still providing quality religious education. That being said, there will be some modifications to the PSR program for the 2020/2021 academic year.

Here is how the will look:

PSR will primarily take place at home. We will be using the “Spirit of Truth” online program by the Sophia Institute.
Parents will work with their children during each lesson to help keep each student on track, as well as provide parents and students the ability to grow in their faith.
Students and families will be able to work at home and at their own pace. This will provide families with more flexibility for the upcoming year.
A lesson schedule will be made available for each student once you have registered for classes.
The “Spirt of Truth” program provides a companion application for students to participate in engaging activities.
Parents will receive a monthly newsletter that will provide you with tips, articles, advice, and other ways to grow in your faith this year.
Catechists will be reaching out to you twice a month via email and phone to touch base and be available to assist you throughout the year if you have any questions or concerns.
You will receive more information in the coming weeks on how access the Spirit of Truth digital portal, or to pick up your textbook for the year.

St. Luke is committed to assist you in any way that we can. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Max Hall, Parish Catechetical Leader.

The Saint Luke the Evangelist Parish School of Religion is part of the educational arm of the parish community, responsible for providing religious instruction (known as catechesis) to children attending public or non-Catholic private schools. Together we serve between around 150 children annually, with the help of many adult and teen volunteers. Through evangelization and catechesis, the young people in PSR are called to faithful living with their heart, hands, and mind.
