Catechumenate for Children


School aged children who have not yet been baptized and children who have passed their seventh
birthday and have not yet received Holy Communion
are invited to participate in the Catechumenate
for Children
program in addition to their regular attendance at Sunday morning PREP classes.
Their participation in these separately scheduled sessions will prepare them to celebrate the
sacraments of initiation at Easter time. Please consider enrolling your child in this process
of Christian Initiation into the Catholic Church. The initial meeting with these parents and the
Catechumenate team members is scheduled for Sunday, September 23, 9:45-10:45 a.m.
in the parish center library. The parents of these children must attend the initial meeting
in order for us to determine whether or not there is a need for this program this year.
Please call Chris Curtis at 534-8177 or 928-8405 with questions regarding this program.
