What is C.C.E.?
C.C.E. is an abbreviation for "Continuing Christian Education." Our parish provides CCE for every age, including adults. As Christians, we have been given the awesome privilege and responsibility of growing in our knowledge of God and everything he has revealed to us by continually learning the depth and mystery of Jesus Christ the Lord.

CCE Calendar - Fall and Spring 2008
For the safety and well being of our students, and the convenience of parents, please follow the CCE Arrival/Dismissal Policy.  Children should be dropped off 10 minutes before class begins – not before.  Our catechists and aides are volunteers.  Please be considerate and make sure that you pick-up your child(ren) promptly – within 10 minutes of class dismissal.

Pre-K through 8th Grade Wednesdays from 4:00 p.m. to 5:10 p.m.
