Saint Polycarp Parish School of Religion

At St. Polycarp Parish School of Religion (PSR) we serve children in pre-kindergarten through ninth grade. Sacramental preparation is offered for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist (2nd grade), and Confirmation (9th grade). Our PSR community recognizes parents as having the primary responsibility for the religious formation of their children. Our catechists (teachers)—who are certified through the Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware—work collaboratively with parents in teaching children the Catholic faith.
