CHILDREN'S CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Following Jesus is our greatest adventure!
The CCF school season has ended, but following Jesus never ends. We pray for our families and children to have a fun and safe summer, and to remember that following Jesus is our greatest adventure, so do everything in prayer and thanksgiving in the name of Jesus. Our Catholic obligation to attend Mass doesn't end over the summer either. Come to Holy Mass and give Jesus at least that one hour of your time on Sundays in worship and thanksgiving. Jesus is there in the Holy Eucharist and receiving Him physically or spiritually is the greatest gift we can receive. All are welcome!
Thank you to our CCF Catechists, Aides, Teen Assistants, Parents, and especially the Children, for a wonderful CCF School Season. This year we introduced some new experiences and events for our children and families that helped to keep everyone engaged and excited about Sunday School. We are planning to continue to grow our CCF community and encourage parents to enroll the children and to join us at all special events planned for the new 2023-2024 CCF school season. Registration begins in June.
Of course, thank you to our CRE, TiAnna McCabe, and our Music Director, Cristina Logan, and assistants, for all they do for the success and implementation of the CCF program at Holy Faith.
PS: Sign up the kidos for VBS 2023 (see below)
