 "the aim and object of apostolic works is that all...children of God...should come together to praise God..., to take part in the sacrifice, and to eat the Lord's Supper".       - The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy

           When we hear God's word, we are compelled out of love to respond
                          - first during the liturgy and then in the world.













Children's Religious Education Program:  CLASSES BEGIN THE WEEK OF SEPT. 29, 2008 and runs through May 2009.  We are closed on Holidays & Holy Days of Obligation and on any Snow Days announced through the Public Schools. If the children are in school when a significant storm blows in that impacts the roads, CCD teachers will try to contact the parents/guardians & also the school to let the child know that class will be cancelled, however, if it is questionable weather and you do not hear from the teacher please do not hesitate to call the office at 587-3595 to see if your child's CCD class is cancelled for that day. (Reminder: Only 5 absences are allowed for the year due to only meeting once a week with many holidays, holy days & snow days in between.)

Parents, we rely on your participation to keep the program running, please help whenever you are able.  Please contact us or call the office at 587-3595 for more information.

Late Registrations: We will accept late registrations only through
Oct. 8th, the 2nd week of CCD, providing that there is space available in the class.
