Parent Involvement
Parents– Please consider being a part of this important ministry! We are always in need of Catechists as class leads and as substitutes. We have amazing resources for your use and a group of dedicated Catechists to help get you started. For more information email Becky at bpursell@stphilip.cc
All parents will be asked to volunteer during 1-2 (more if you’d like!) CCE classes. Your child’s CCE program is run purely by parent volunteers. We CAN NOT be successful without the help of all parents. This is especially true for our Wednesday night class, where your help is especially critical. Religious education is an important class for your child and we need you to be as involved as you are with their daily schooling. We are looking forward to working with all of you. This will be a beautiful way to share your love of Christ and your own faith journey with your children. -

CCE PROGRAM
-
Our St. Philip the Apostle religious education program strengthens our parish members in their awareness and understanding of God's loving presence in their lives. It serves to deepen them in the Gospel message of Jesus Christ. In keeping with the mission of the Catholic Church, the program proclaims the "Good News" by providing catechetical instruction, special events, and opportunities for fellowship that will foster and encourage growth in understanding the faith:
- An intimate relationship with Jesus Christ
- Full participation in the sacraments
- Appreciation for the teachings of the Church
- Development of strong Catholic moral principles within a supportive Christian faith community.
CCE classes are open to all St.Philip parishioners’ children in Kindergarten through
12th grade. We regret that space limitations do not allow us to enroll children of non-parishioners.

Faith in Action

FEBRUARY FAITH IN ACTION:
VISIT THE SICK/ VISIT THE IMPRISONED
JOIN US FEBRUARY 7 AFTER THE 8:30 MASS FOR A SHORT LESSON ON HOW WE CAN LIVE THE CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY IN OUR OWN LIVES.
This year we are launching a new program for our CCE students and their families. On one Sunday CCE class each month the Elementary CCE coordinator will provide a short 10-15 minute lesson on how we, as families, can put our faith into action. This year we will focus on the Corporal Works of Mercy learning how we can help take care of the bodily needs of those around us as Jesus instructed. The lessons will be centered around how families with young children can model Jesus’ love by completing the Corporal Works of Mercy. The group will collectively discuss and decide on a service project for each semester, Fall and Spring, which will allow us to engage in ACTION as a community in a work of faith and love. Reminders will be sent out via the St. Philip mobile app and email to the CCE Sunday group.
On November 8, CCE students and their parents met before class to discuss ways they could live out the Corporal Works of Mercy through feeding the hungry and giving drink to the thirsty. The meeting opened our eyes that not everyone has access to things we take for granted. Some families aren’t able to turn on a tap and have safe, fresh water. The kids wrote down some ideas of ways they can help others in our community. They placed these on the board so we can remember throughout November that we should be living our faith. It was a great first session and we are looking forward to all the wonderful actions still to come!
