Welcome to the Mary, Queen of All Saints Parish School of Religion program. We are excited to offer a year of dynamic learning for the youth/families within our parish!

MISSION:

Mary, Queen of All Saints invites families with children in grades 1-8, who are enrolled in a non-Catholic school, to our Parish School of Religion (PSR) program. Working collaboratively with parents, it is our goal to assist you in teaching the Catholic faith and inspiring a deeper relationship with God.

CLASS INFORMATION:

Classes will meet at St. Simon Plagge Hall two Sundays a month beginning in September and running through mid-May. We will begin at 9:00 a.m. and conclude at 10:45 a.m. We encourage families to attend our 11:00 a.m. Mass directly following PSR classes. Your child(ren) will be taught a grade-level curriculum by trained catechists. The yearly schedule for our PSR classes is posted to our website for your reference.

PRIORITY REGISTRATION:

The following priority system will determine registration status. Students will be admitted according to the highest priority level. When registration exceeds class size limitations, priority level and date of registration will determine admission, and a waiting list will be developed accordingly.

• All students whose parents/guardians are registered Mary, Queen of All Saints parish members.

• All students who have attended our PSR programs (St. Simon/St. Dominic) in the prior year.

• All students who have a sibling presently enrolled in the PSR program.

• All students who are registering as out of parish participants.

• Families registering after the registration period will be accepted as they enroll, if space is available.

STUDENT FEE:

Tuition is $75 per student for MQAS parishioners (with $200 family maximum) $100 for out of parish students (with a $225 family maximum). Payment of tuition is expected to be paid with the registration form. No child will be denied a religious education due to lack of payment. If you need tuition assistance, please contact the Religious Education office at 513-347-8825.
