CCD/Religious Education
Children who do not attend Catholic school are expected to attend CCD every Sunday morning from 9:15 to 10:15 for their religious instruction.

Children's Liturgy of the Word
This program is held during the 10:30 a.m. Mass for children ages 5 through 11. They are dismissed from the Sunday liturgy following the Opening Prayer, and go to the Chapel to break open the scripture readings for the particular Sunday. It provides an opportunity for them to hear and understand the scriptures at their age levell and starts them in the process of thinking about how those readings apply to their lives. The children are brought back during the offertory. Volunteers who work with this ministry must have current child clearances as required by the Diocese of Harrisburg.
