CCE UPDATE AUGUST 4, 2020
Many discussions have occ urred, but no decisions have been made regarding CCE classes for the Fall. We are weighing all options carefully, keeping the safety and well-being of everyone in mind.
A notice will appear here (on the Parish Website), our CCE Facebook Page, and the Bulletin when a decision has been made. -
Parents are the primary religious educators
of their children. (CCC1653)
The home is where a child should first experience
the Catholic Faith.
Our CCE program aims to work in
partnership with parents,
in order to assist them in living that faith.
CCE Teachers complement your child's religious education, not replace the catechesis that children should be receiving in the home. -
Downloadable Forms & Documents

If you are not a REGISTERED member of St. Philip the Apostle Parish, you will need to provide a letter from the pastor of your registered parish stating the reason(s) you are wanting your child to attend the St. Philip the Apostle CCE program.

Consider Becoming A Catechist
(CCE Teacher)
As baptized Catholics, we need to grow in our own faith and spirituality
and share our faith with the next generation of Catholics.
What is a Catechist?
Anyone sharing and passing on our wonderful Catholic Faith is considered a catechist.
The word “catechist” literally means “to echo.”
A catechist echoes the Word of God to his/her young disciples.
We do not teach a subject, we teach a life-style…the Catholic-Christian, life-style.
What qualifications do I have to have to become a Catechist?
If you are a faith-filled individual, enjoy being with children,
are dedicated to the Catholic faith,
and feel that God is calling you to get more involved…
YOU may be just the person we are looking for.
What about training and support?
Most potential catechists do NOT have a degree in education or religion or theology.
A degree is not required.
We Will Help You.
Training, assistance and support will be provided.
There will be simple workshops and classes offered throughout the year.
You can choose to attend (OR complete online!) any number of training or
enrichment sessions to further your own understanding of the faith and your skills as a catechist.
The Catechist manuals are also a tremendous help to the first time catechist.
They are written specifically for volunteers who have NO previous experience in Religious Education. The manuals offer creative ideas and tips for each lesson being presented.
Help yourself by helping us!
As you nurture the faith of our young,
you will grow in your own faith, learn the teachings of the Church,
and deepen your relationship with Jesus!
You will be handing on a
2000-year-old Tradition that changes lives.
You will be challenged, you will have fun, you will be evangelizing!!
Ask yourself in prayer and
respond without fear!!
As you prepare and while you teach, you will discover that
YOU are also learning more about our faith!

Please pray for the success of our CCE Program,
the Volunteers, and the students.
