PSR
Welcome to the new PSR year! Registration for 2021-22 is open! You can click on the Registration Form tab on this page. Be sure to provide a good texting number for each family. This number will be used in case of emergency, including weather-related class cancellations/delays.

PSR began October 3 and ends May 15, 2022. PSR class time is 8:50 am to 10:20 am. In addition to class, there will also be fun and exciting Faith events for youth of all ages, such as Stations of the Cross, and more! 

The rich, hands-on, Montessori based Catechism of the Good Shepherd Classes will be available for 3-year-old preschoolers through 3rd Grade. Level I, which is for pre-schoolers-Kindergartners is in Room 3. Level II, for 1st-3rd graders is in Room 4.

Fourth - 7th Grade will meet in Room 5. This group will use Gospel Weeklies, a publication that provides thoughtful discussion and learning about the week's upcoming Gospel. They will also use The Holy Bible, and Catechism of the Catholic Church. 


Sacraments
If you have an 8th grader or older who needs Confirmed or a 2nd Grader (age 8) who needs to make First Communion, please contact the office at 740-653-1229 to let us know. 

The Confirmation classes will meet Tuesdays, beginning October 5th from 6:00 pm- 7:30 pm. There is much planned for this class, including service projects requirement and a retreat weekend March 11th-13th at Damascus. Attendance is critical for these classes and there is a minimum attendance requirement.

Parents, the First Communion Parent Meeting is on 10/31/21 from 9:50-10:20 am in Room 7. Books, DVDs, etc. and a full schedule of expected progress will be handed out at that meeting, so it is important to let us know in advance if your child will be making his/her First Communion.

Youth
Shout out to St. Mark's Youth Program! Recent Youth Group events included an outing to a Clippers game and an all-day swim and picnic at Jackson Lake! We thank the Lord for the wonderful experiences we had during these recent youth events, and look forward to many more! Check our YOUTH MINISTRY page for new events as they become available, including future dates of Praise & Worship Masses, High School Small Group Discussion and service projects, and the upcoming, sure-to-be-fun Fall Party!

Remember, you are invited to the Youth Praise and Worship Masses, held on the 4th Sunday of the month at 5:00 pm. There is NO PSR on the day of the Youth Praise and Worship Masses as we encourage families to attend and praise together. These Masses use the Damascus model of praise and worship, so come prepared to clap and sing!
 
Love (and hugs) in Christ's name,
