About CCE

Continuing Christian Education (CCE) is a learning and enriching process through which individuals gain understanding and knowledge about their faith and thereby strengthens the foundation of their faith. At Ascension Catholic Church, such programs are created in accordance with the guidelines of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston. Children's CCE is one of the oldest ministries of our church and was established in 1985.

Importance

Many people regard children’s education a top priority investment for them to succeed in the future. Obviously, there is no better investment than the gift of faith. Children nurtured in an environment of strong faith grow up knowing the grace of God is with them every step of the way. For this important reason a large part of the Children CCE program is devoted to the children's religious education.

Enrichment

Various enrichment and service activities are planned throughout the liturgical year to help our children practice the Christian faith and live out what they learned in the classroom and from their parents at home.​

Class Times

Children from Pre-K to fifth grade are enrolled in one of the seven classes according to their grade levels. Class time is First Grade: 10:05am-10:50am and 2nd Grade - 5th Grade: 10:05am - 11:30 am every Sunday following the 9:00 a.m. Mass.
