Elementary faith FORMATION (CCE)                    kindergarten - 5th grade

Registration for in-person Elementary Faith Formation (CCE) classes
for the 2021-2022 year is NOW CLOSED.   
We do not expect to add any additional classes at this time.   
 
 Instead, children are invited to continue their faith formation journey this year by registering for our Elementary Home Study Program.   
 Visit the HOME STUDY page on the St. Laurence website
for details and the registration link to join our K-5th grade program. 
**************************

In-person classes for registered children are scheduled to begin on Tues, September 7th and Weds, September 8th. 
Registered families will be receiving an email with their child's placement details
in the next week.  
For a listing of meeting dates for the upcoming faith formation year, please refer to the ELEMENTARY CCE CALENDAR.
************************************************************

Our ability to satisfy the needs of all St. Laurence families registering for Children's Faith Formation (CCE) in terms of day and time offerings will be entirely dependent upon the commitment of volunteers willing to facilitate classes on these days.  If you would like to support us in ensuring the placement of all of the children wishing to attend classes in-person this fall,  please consider helping us rebuild our volunteer base by committing to serve this special ministry as a Catechist or Classroom Assistant.  Each year, it takes upwards of 100 volunteers weekly to serve the children of St. Laurence in this way.

Volunteering is now easier than ever with the Archdiocesan CMG CONNECT SAFE HAVEN training that is completely available online.   Please consider offering your time and talents to one of the many wonderful ways to get involved in Children's Faith Formation (CCE).  If interested in volunteering, please complete the RE VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION.  Thank you!

Thanks in advance for your prayerful consideration!

Children in grades Kindergarten-5 are invited to attend our
Children's Faith Formation (CCE) program.

Children's Faith Formation (CCE) uses the Our Sunday Visitor (OSV) textbook series, Alive in Christ.   Alive in Christ is intentional in its focus on the life, mission and saving work of Jesus Christ.  This lays the foundation for a lifelong relationship with Jesus, who continually leads us to his Father’s love and call us through the Spirit to share in the divine life through His Church (CCC, 426).   Mirroring the divine pedagogy (i.e. the gradual and relational way that God reveals himself to mankind and teaches us), each lesson encourages a personal and ongoing relationship with God.
