CCE 2019-2020
Welcome to CCE for 2019-2020! We have so many new things and so many exciting things planned for this year.
YES! We are changing the CCE Schedule this year. The reason is explained in one word: EUCHARIST! If the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life” (CCC 1324), then each of us should be striving to participate in Mass and the Sacraments as often as we are able. With this in mind, we have modified our schedule to allow all students to attend Mass at 6:00 p.m.
Kindergarten through 5th grade: 4:30-6:30 p.m.
6th through 12th grade: 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Afternoon families can still send students after school. We will serve snacks and have activities. We will also have a quiet place for students who would like to read and/or do homework.
Evening students will have a short break after Mass to grab a snack and get ready for classes at 7:00.
NEW this year will be Youth Group! Youth group for 6th through 12th grades will meet from 8:00-9:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. We will gather for games and God!Catechists/Volunteers:
We are in need of Catechists and Volunteers. You are so important to the program and what we can give our students. Please call Monica, 979-235-0297, ASAP if you can help.
