The Holy Trinity Celebrate Sunday Program is a great way to strengthen the spiritual journey of our children.  The curriculum is developed especially for the learning styles of pre-school children and kindergarteners, and incorporates prayer, song, stories and art to teach children about God's love, while emphasizing the fundamentals of the Catholic faith.  The Program is fun and uses the same scripture readings as the parents hear proclaimed at Mass, yet shares the readings at a level they are able to understand.  Celebrate Sunday school is held at the school building during the 10:30 am Mass on the first and third Sunday of each month from September to early May.  Each class size is 10 students with a teacher and teacher's aid. 

This Program is open to children of ages 3, 4 and 5 (children must be 3 by September 15, 2009). Enrollment fee is $45 for the 9 month Program; $70 per family.  The $45 fee is waived for those who become full-time teachers in the Program.  Please refer any questions or interest to Maria Burleson, Celebrate Program, 2926 Beaver Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50310, telephone 255-3162 ext. 2207 or email at mariab@holytrinitydm.org.
