What is CCE?

CCE is Continuing Christian Education. The purpose of CCE is to provide faith formation to all of the children in the parish who attend public school. CCE is a lifelong, on-going process of education, formation and transformation that enables the spiritual growth and giftedness of all people, to reflect on Gospel values and Church teachings and to encourage discipleship. The Church refers to this as Sacred Tradition – the passing on by the Church the Divine Revelation through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. As parents, we know and understand the importance of ensuring that our children are educated; reading and writing, math and science, history and arts….but even more importantly, to pass on to them the riches of our Catholic faith, the most precious treasure we have to give them.

CCE – Continuing Christian Education is for children in Pre-K thru the 12 grade who are attending a public school.

Welcome Back

Just a few quick reminders. Parents must sign their children into and out of class. Only students with a valid Texas Driver’s License AND a signed release form may sign themselves in and out of class.  This is for the safety of all students. In another month, the time will change and it will be dark when children arrive and leave CCE evening classes.

If you wish to make a payment, we ask that you follow this procedure:

Parents of students, who attend class on Saturday, may pay in the Church Office

Parents of students, who attend Sunday through Thursday, please arrive 15 minutes before pick up time and make your payment in the CCE Office in Bldg. 300. We accept cash, check or credit/debit cards.

Mass Attendance

Many parents have asked about Mass Attendance for children preparing for Sacraments this school year. The “Sunday Obligation” is that all baptized Catholics should attend Mass every Sunday. When a student is preparing to receive a sacrament, we will check to see if they are attending Mass. You will be notified in the Sacrament Registration Meeting, when Mass Attendance will begin for your child.

Tal vez haya notado el telón de fondo para fotos enfrente de la Oficina Parroquial. Esta es una oportunidad para que todas nuestras familias creen un recuerdo y tomen una foto juntos.

La asistencia a Misa

Muchos padres han preguntado acerca de la asistencia a la Misa para los niños que se preparan para los sacramentos este año escolar. La "Obligación dominical" es que todos los católicos bautizados asistan a Misa todos los domingos. Cuando un estudiante se está preparando para recibir uno de los sacramentos, verificaremos si asisten a la Misa. Se le notificará en la Reunión de Registro Sacramental, cuando la asistencia a Misa comenzará para su hijo/a.
