Parish Religious Education Programs


Children's Faith Formation Program (C.F.F.) - Formerly CCD

The St. Agnes Faith Formation Program is for all school-age children who attend public and private school. It is one hour of Religious Education per week for children in grades K through 8. Each grade level focuses on a different religious concept.

Classes for all grades: Monday Evenings 7:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.

Primary grades also: Mondays 5:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M.

Please contact St. Agnes Religious Education Staff at (925)689-0838 for further information.


Children's Liturgy of the Word

Children's Liturgy of the Word is the "Liturgy of the Word" adapted to make it relevant to the lives and experiences of children. By attending the Children's Liturgy of the Word during the 9:00 A.M. Mass, children are given the opportunity to understand the Gospel message and participate in the Eucharistic celebration at their own level.

Children are present at the beginning of the Mass until the end of the Introductory Rites, when the priest invites them to leave for their own celebration. In a relaxed and comfortable setting the children celebrate the Liturgy of the Word with a simple altar, candles and a special place set aside for proclaiming the Word of God.

The children are brought back into the assembly immediately after the Prayers of the Faithful by a member of the Liturgy Team.


Children's Liturgy

The Children's Liturgy program allows children from both our parish school and our CFF Program to become active participants in special Masses throughout the year. Flyers are sent home through the St. Agnes School and CFF classes and information is posted in the weekly bulletin and the St. Agnes Parish newsletter to notify parents of rehearsal times.

Please contact St. Agnes Religious Education Staff at (925) 689-0838 for further information.
