Parish School of Religion

Our Parish School of Religion (PSR) provides catechetical instruction to children and youth who attend public schools. Through PSR, young people grow closer to Jesus, learn more about their Catholic faith, and learn how to live the Gospel in daily life. PSR also helps prepare children and youth to receive their first sacraments.
For more information, please contact Gary Herman at 417.887.6472, ext. 610, or gherman@seaschurch.org.
