Continuing Christian Education  (CCE)

The CCE program at St. Hyacinth Catholic Church seeks to partnership with parents and the community of St. Hyacinth to provide developmentally appropriate and authentically Catholic learning experiences so that children and youth may possess the knowledge and skills necessary to live an active, Catholic, Christian life.

The CCE office at St. Hyacinth parish exists to assist parents in bringing their children closer to God and His Church.  We have programs for Pre-K 4-year-olds through 12th grade.  We also prepare students to receive the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

"At the heart of catechesis we find a Person, the Person of Jesus Christ ……Catechesis aims at putting people in communion with Jesus Christ" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, #426)."    
 

Social Hour

Sacramental Preparation

First Reconciliation and First Eucharist is a two year program beginning in first grade CCE. Students who are older than second grade and need to make their sacraments will attend a Sacraments class in addition to regular CCE classes.

Confirmation is also a two-year process usually beginning in ninth grade, but may be started anytime during high school. Students will be required to attend a retreat, perform community and church service, and attend Confirmation sessions in addition to their regular CCE class.

Adult Confirmation is also offered for anyone 18 years old and older. These sessions usually begin in the spring of each year.
