CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP CLUB (CLC)

The Christian Leadership Club is a voluntary club for our 7th graders only. This club gives our students the opportunity to be more involved with our school masses. It is an excellent way to see all the preparations done before and after mass. These students work closely with the CRE and are involved with setting up before mass, guiding the procession, assisting the readers, guiding the gift bearers, picking up when mass is over and any other things needed for the mass to run smoothly. The hope is for these students to develop a desire to want to continue some type of church service in the future.
