Elementary
The goal of the Elementary PSR Program at St. Peter Roman Catholic Church is to meet the children where they are, in an atmosphere of love and acceptance, journey with them through the Scriptures, the sacraments, and the stories of the early Church to a fuller understanding of God and a deeper faith relationship with Him. This is done with a strong emphasis on prayer and discipleship. The text, Alive In Christ, meets all the diocesan graded course of study requirements. Children learn - about God through Scripture, Church Tradition, Church Doctrine, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the lives of the Saints, prayer, journaling, colorful visuals, and in-class and at-home activities. Elementary classes are offered on Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:15 until 7:30 PM.
