Putting Spirit First*(PSF)
*This is a change in the acronym PSF. It is hoped that this change will be a call to all the families and participants of the parish religious education program, the sacramental preparation programs, and the youth ministry program to continue toset thesesessions as a high priority in their lives. The Holy Spirit is a gift from our Creator which helps guide us in the pathway of Christ. It is, indeed, essential that we put the Spirit first in our lives.
