All children from PreK to 5th Grade are all welcome to come celebrate on Sunday mornings for an hour as they learn about God, sacraments, how to worship and praise in creative and fun-filled ways. We have an amazing First Communion Program. Our teachers inspire to understand more about the church, mass and our community. Our program is both in person and virtual. We have songs, activities, games, and more. Parents can join along the journey as they see each child learn about God. Our program runs from September to May.

Edge forms the Middle School (Grades 6-8) portion of our Religious Education Program.
Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry program (grades 6-8) which provides a safe fun place for youth to find solid Catholic community, get answers to their questions about faith, and, most important, experience Jesus in a profound and personal way. The Edge program presents Catholic teaching in a way that young people can understand and answers the needs of this age group in a catechetical, fun, and relevant way while providing a foundation for youth to continue to confirmation.

The Holy Cross Confirmation Program is a two year program to prepare for the reception of the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is open to students in grades 9 through 12. The program consists of classes, spiritual and community service projects and a full or half-day retreat each year. Enrollment begins in the late summer of each year (usually August/September time frame). Classes are held on Sunday mornings.
The Newman Club is an offical student club at both SUNY Plattsburgh and Clinton Community College. Students strive to learn more about their Catholic faith through worship, study, retreats, and community. Students stimulate "action for change" in order to positively impact society by supporting organizations such as the Interfaith Food Shelf, Birthright and Boxes of Joy. Together students promote strong character, a spirit of service and genuine friendships.

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults/Children (RCIA/C) is a
process that brings individuals into full communion in the Catholic
Church. Much more than just "convert classes," RCIA offers the
opportunity for conversion through a participation in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Catechumens and candidates will journey with members of the parish family, who will support them, by way of liturgy, gatherings, rites and prayer.
