CCD/Sunday School

The mission of our Sunday School program is to do the following for our enrollees:

1. Lay a firm foundation in our Catholic faith, develop a sense of concern and compassion for others (especially the elders),
2. Cultivate and help bring to action Christian values in daily life,
3. Teach prayers and hymns in Malayalam, provide a better understanding of the significance of the Syro-Malabar Rite, and
4. Last but never the least, to facilitate and participate in our growing as “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.”

Sunday School program is from Kindergarten to 12th grade. Parents are encouraged to enroll your children if not already done so in our Sunday School program.

It is the sincere effort of every teacher to instruct each child on biblical teachings and train them in righteousness, as they journey through life, “so that one who belongs to God may be competent, equipped for every good work,” 2 Timothy 3:17.

Children develop their faith from different sources – family, friends, church, and school, just to name a few. Though, family is the most important of all. Therefore, our prime responsibility and solemn obligation is to foster the spiritual growth of our children. When the foundation is laid based on God’s teachings, all good things will follow.

There are various other activities that our Sunday School children take part in, in addition to following the religious academic syllabus. Our children are given opportunities to develop and demonstrate their talents, especially during the annual Christmas program. As a tradition, during the Lenten season, children participate in a 30 day Lenten project where they step out of their comfort zone and are challenged to be Christ-like.

Children put in their best efforts and set high standards for the final round. Every year the Sacraments of Holy Communion and Confirmation are administered after necessary training and preparation. Eighth graders and above also have the option of joining the Youth ministry.
