Catholic Youth Enrichment

Through Catholic Youth Enrichment (CYE), children in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 6th grade foster a closer relationship with Jesus, grow in their knowledge of their faith, and nurture their sense of community within their church family. It is also through this program that children of age of reasoning and youth up to the 12th grade prepare to celebrate the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist.

For more information please contact the Faith Formation Office at 407-886-4602.
