PSR – Parish School of Religion
We offer religious education classes for public school students in 1st – 8th grades. Our classes meet on the 1st & 3rd Wednesday evenings from 5:30-8:00 pm. During this time, our children participate in Mass, class sessions, activities and projects. Service opportunities, sacramental preparation, youth Masses, entertainment, and other events are also scheduled throughout the course of each month. The fee is $40 per student. Please contact our Religious Education Coordinator TBA for more information.

St. Bruno Catholic School
Despite the closing of Sacred Heart School in 2008, we have since been happy to sponsor the children of families still wishing to enroll their children in Catholic parochial school. We now have 6 children that attend St. Bruno School in Pinckneyville. We also provide bus service daily to and from DuQuoin for these students.
