Family Ministry is for Kids Pre-K through 5th Grade

CCASTA is offering the Sunday Experience for Children program two Sundays a month at each campus. On the first and third Sunday at St. Augustine at 9 am and on the second & fourth Sunday at Ascension at 10:30 am. Your child will only need to attend two gatherings but they are more than welcome to join us every Sunday. The program will start with praise and worship and then we will continue with the Liturgy of the Word, just like Mass. The children in the program will hear the Liturgy of the Word at their level and have a discussion on the message for that Sunday. We will then live-stream the Mass and work with the children on the Liturgy of the Eucharist. The children who would like to receive Communion will be able to receive it during the Communion procession because we will have Eucharist Ministers available to them. We will conclude the session at the end of Mass. Each child will leave with a car-talk paper to use for the week. Questions?  Contact Annemarie Dirndorfer, Director of Faith Formation above.

Special Needs Faith Formation:  We offer a weekly program on Sunday mornings. This program provides shorter sessions, one on one mentors, and parent support. It is available to any person of any age with a learning disability who desires to receive sacraments and faith formation. Inquire now about Special Needs Faith Formation
