Here at CCFP we have a great relationship with our elementary schools in Chatham - St. Theresa of Calcutta, Monsignor Uyen and St. Angela Merici.
Ali Chinnick, with volunteer catechists, also visits all the classrooms from JK to grade four. She uses a storytelling method called Growing in God’s Stories to help the children prepare for First Reconciliation, First Communion and understanding the parts of the Mass. Our priests visit the schools and celebrate Mass with each of the schools. Confessions are offered at each school throughout the year.
We are also involved with the Catholic Secondary School, Ursuline College (UCC). We are involved in their Masses, liturgy and confessions throughout the year. We work closely with the chaplain at the Pines who uses the church facilities for opportunities for service like the 24 hours of service or for various retreats.
