The PSR program course content series builds from year to year around four themes:
- What Catholics Believe
- How Catholics Worship
- How Catholics Live
- How Catholics Pray
An introduction to the scope and sequence of each grade level is as follows:
Kindergarten
God’s love creates the universe including all people and family. Children are introduced to Jesus as the greatest sign of Gods love and begin to express love of Jesus.
1st Grade
Children learn that we belong to a community known as a Church. Children begin to learn how we live and pray as a Catholic Community.
2nd Grade
Building on first grade, children grow in understanding of themselves as part of a Catholic Community including preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.
3rd Grade
Children continue to grow in understanding of themselves as members of the Church. They learn in depth the four marks of the Catholic Church and begin to see the connection of the Church’s mission to the wider world.
4th Grade
Students study God’s Laws of Love: The Ten Commandment and The Beatitudes. Students will participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation this year, typically during Lent.
5th Grade
Students are introduced to an in-depth study of The Sacraments as God’s Gift: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, the Sacraments of Healing and the Sacraments of Service.
