They’ve also included each week about ‘our friends on the journey’, learning about and putting up a picture of a different saint each week. This coming Wednesday will be our CCD Halloween Party! It will start at the regular time of 7:00pm. All students, parents and siblings are invited to join in the fun! Costumes are encouraged!
