The C.C.E. program is all encompassing of faith formation from pre-school through adulthood.  The variety and age appropriate programs are listed below.

The School of Religion provides a graded program of religious instruction for students age 5 (by September 1^st ) through high school. The program is both informational and formational with the goal of enabling the students to enter into the life-long process of becoming Catholic Christians, developing a personal relationship with Jesus, and growing in their faith – a gift given to them by God.

Admission:  In order to enroll a child in the School of Religion program, families must be registered in the parish and may do so at the time of enrollment. Parents are urged to register their children as early as possible in an effort to facilitate planning.

Students must be five years old on or before September first of the enrollment year in order to be accepted in pre-school classes. Generally, students enroll in the same grade they are in at school.

Class Day and Times: All classes are held on Sunday morning.

Liturgical Participation: Students are expected to attend Sunday or Saturday evening mass with their families.  C.C.E. is in NO WAY a substitute for mass attendance.

Sacrament Preparation

1^st Communion and Reconciliation preparation begins with registration for C.C.E. classes for children already baptized in the Catholic faith and at least 7 years old. Your child is expected to attend both the regularly scheduled class and the additional classes for sacrament preparation.  

Parents and their children are expected to attend 6 meetings beginning in October. Please talk with the Director of Religious Education for further information.

Confirmation is a two-year formation process that begins in 9^th grade/freshman year of high school. Candidates to be considered for Confirmation should be baptized in the Catholic faith and be faithful to the formation classes.  Please contact the Director of Religious Education for more information.
