This is the first year that St. Andrew Church in Danville, Ark., has been able to offer a year-long religious education program for the children of the mission. The year-long program includes the basic sacramental preparation curriculum that had been in place, in addition to general religious instruction. Over 100 children are enrolled in classes and are taught by 20 volunteer teachers. Before Mass each Sunday morning there is a flurry of activity as children and teachers find a space in the church to hold their classes. According to Brother David Henley: “We find room for everyone!”
