The Parish School of Religion (PSR) is a Sunday morning catechetical program for K-12 students. Students attend grade-specific classes which are taught by volunteer instructors. PSR is open to all parishioners, and is especially recommended for public and homeschool students. The Parish School of Religion provides valuable catechesis, as well as a fun and friendly environment in which they can socialize and learn together with their peers. PSR Sign-Ups: The PSR team is excited to welcome your children to a year of fun, friendship and spiritual growth. Classes are held from 9:45-10:45 am on Sunday mornings, and are held in our very own RCS school building. PSR is open to all children in the parish, grades K-12. Here is the PSR calendar: PSR Student Calendar 25-26 PSR registration fees ($15 for an individual child or $30 per family) can also be paid online ( https://secure.myvanco.com/L-Z50C/home ) or in the parish office. Catechists: (“ What I received from the Lord I have handed on to you. ” - 1 Cor 11:23 ” ) Is God calling you to serve as a Catechist or Catechist Aide? Catechists play a vital role in the spiritual formation of children, helping them develop a deeper understanding of our rich Catholic faith as members of God’s family. If you are a confirmed, practicing Catholic, and you want to find out more about this vital ministry, please reach out to Lydia, our PSR Coordinator, at 316-200-2239 or psr@resurrectionwichita.com . Sacraments: Our parish will be offering the sacraments of First Confession and First Communion this year; Bishop Kemme will return to Resurrection next school year for Confirmation. Please note that beginning next school year ('26-27), any second grade PSR student who is wanting to receive the sacraments must have been in PSR the prior year as well.

Scouting at Resurrection is part of the White Buffalo District within Quivira Council. There are several opportunities for achievement and success provided to these Scouts so they can grow into the very best versions of themselves. Cubs meet as a Pack on the 4th Monday of the month and their individual Dens meet on 2 Mondays during the month. The Troop meets weekly on Tuesdays and generally goes camping once per month. Both programs are full of fun, hands-on learning opportunities and experiences. Cub Scouting (K - 5th Grade) helps develop a sense of belonging, confidence, and self-esteem that Scouts carry with them through life. In Cub Scouting, we always encourage our Scouts to DO YOUR BEST - it is our motto. Scouting BSA (6th - High School) provides resources, tools, and experiences needed to help each Scout learn, grow, and develop into independent, community engaged, and service-oriented leaders. At this level, Scouts learn to lead their own activities. Our Scouting BSA motto is to BE PREPARED - and that is exactly what these Scouts will learn to be. Religious Emblems: In addition to all the other fun and exciting things that Scouts will learn, see, and do, there are Religious programs built within the Scouting program.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is a Montessori based catechism program for students Pre-K through third grade. 3-6 year olds enter the mystery of the Eucharist by first learning the names of the articles used on the altar and the gestures that accompany them. Through these experiences, the child becomes acquainted with the historical character of the liturgy through the events of the Last Supper, Christ’s death, and His resurrection. Elementary age children come to better know their relationship with God, family, friends, and the larger community. Parables offer a model for comparing their behavior with that of the Pharisee, the Tax Collector, or the Good Samaritan. They come to see the parts of the Mass—the Liturgy of the Word, the Preparation of the Gifts, the Eucharistic Prayer, and the Communion—as one unified prayer made up of many smaller prayers. Children preparing for First Communion are led in communion meditations focusing on their relationship with Jesus. They then create personal prayer missals which help to deepen their love and understanding of the Eucharist. We are always in need of volunteers in the classroom, or to help make/paint materials for the children. Anne-Marie Thompson – 316-518-5566
