Home Study CCE Program

Our NEXT mandatory Home Study CCE meeting will be held on
Monday, February 17, 2020 from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Marian Hall of the AMC
for all registered families. 
Due to the nature of the content presented by our speaker during this parent workshop, no children under the age of 18 years will be admitted. 
Need Babysitting for this event?  Go to PLAY & PRAY to register children 12 and under.

St. Laurence parish offers a Home Study CCE program to support each parent's vocation as the primary or first catechist of their children.  Parents who register for the Home Study CCE program are provided with resources and support to assist them in teaching their children at home.  Children in our Home Study CCE program use the same materials as the weekly CCE students and are always invited (as well as strongly encouraged) to participate in our Religious Education group activities  including our CCE Masses, periodic Prayer Services, Middle School EDGE Nights, EDGE Socials, etc.

Please see the document at the left for Home Study Program Requirements & Dates for the coming program year. This document outlines the completion and credit expectations for all participant families.  Please note that these requirements pertain to only those children in grades 1-12, and are not applicable to Preschool or Kindergarten Home Study families.

As our Parent Enrichment/Homework Checkpoint meetings are conducted throughout the program year, we will list a link to the audio recording of our guest speaker below on this webpage, as well as a link to the meeting handouts, within the week following the scheduled meeting.  In order to receive credit for any missed meetings throughout the year, at least one parent is expected to listen to the audio, complete the handout discussion questions and then turn them in at the next checkpoint meeting along with their children's work.    Make-up credit for the student will be limited to two (2) absences of the parent made up in this way.

The registration deadline for all new students entering Home Study is November 1st of each year.  
January 31st is the final deadline for any registered students attending weekly classes and wishing to transfer to the Home Study CCE option and still obtain credit for the full formation year.

Through our Home Study program, we want to support your desire to continue your child’s faith formation.  And so we pray for you as you continue your journey, as you and your family walk by faith. Pope John Paul II said, “It is above all in raising children that the family fulfills its mission in proclaiming the Gospel of Life.”
