How do you prepare for a CLP?

Here are some ways.

In the parish:

1. Attend parish activities to be visible in the parish.

2. Serve in the parish.

   • CFC Corporate Mass

     • In St Monica Parish, the CFC corporate mass is typically the 11 am mass on the 3rd Sunday of the month.

     • During the CFC corporate mass, smile, greet, and help fellow parishioners. Wear your CFC ID.
