Childrens Sunday School Classes 

 “The definitive aim of catechesis is to put people not only in touch, but also in communion and intimacy with Jesus Christ.  All evangelizing activity is understood as promoting communion with Jesus Christ.” ~Pope John Paul II (GDC80.)

Mission:    To supplement the parents’ efforts when bringing their children up in the faith and teaching them the commandments - faithful to the solemn vow they made to do so, at their children’s baptism.  This is done relationally with Jesus in “Class and Mass.”
 
Sunday Classes (CCD):  Well-informed, practicing Catholics who desire to serve as catechists undergo basic training with materials from the Diocese of Worcester, supplemented by our own curriculum training resources.  Sessions are held on about 40% of the Sundays of the year.  Catechists plan and conduct classes on scheduled Sunday mornings, which are accommodated to the liturgy of the Church year (Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, Pentecost, etc.)  They also incorporate the Sacramental practices of Confession, Holy Communion, Confirmation, and Sunday Worship, with which the classes are directly integrated.  Classes are typically held on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:45 am at the Emmaus Center for  all grades  directly preceding the 11:00AM family Mass with its age-appropriate homily and children’s liturgy.
