Children in grades 1-5 are invited to attend our
CCE (Continuing Christian Education) program.
During the classes, the children are instructed by catechists who guide them in their journey of faith through lessons, discussion, Scripture, activities, and crafts. Our program is designed to partner with the parents in order to help your child grow and develop in their faith through different themes and topics.
Families may also choose a Home Study option where they use the same materials as the CCE program, in order to study as a family at home. This is a great opportunity for those who cannot commit to attending weekly classes and fits even the busiest of family schedules.

Please prayerfully consider supporting this special ministry by stepping out in faith and serving as a catechist, co-catechist or assistant in the program. Materials and training are provided and this is a beautiful way to grow in faith with your child and serve the children of St. Laurence!
