Meet our spiritual leader.
Father Paul Fliss has been administrator of the Tri-Parish Faith Community of Immaculate Conception, St. Peter Claver, and Ss. Cyril and Methodius since January, 2013. He appreciates all the sacrifices that the parishes and parents, along with teachers and administrative staff, have made to make Christ Child Academy a thriving ministry. Father Paul has worked tirelessly to promote the school, a collaborative venture of all the south-side parishes. Father Paul is very involved in CCA whether by attending a variety of meetings behind the scenes, preaching and presiding at School Liturgies. This priest is very proud of our tri-parish school and says that CCA is a school that parents and students alike “Can Have Faith In”!
A rich heritage. An exciting future. The history of CCA.
A Catholic school is a precious legacy of a community handed down from generation to generation. Christ Child Academy is no exception.
While 1888 was the year St. Peter Claver Catholic School welcomed its first students, 1956 saw the construction of a new school building on the parish grounds. To the children and faculty’s delight, the new facility featured a tunnel under the playground connecting the church and school!
In 1919, the Parishioners of Ss. Cyril and Methodius opened the doors to their brand new school overlooking the Sheboygan River.
Similarly, in 1962 the recently relocated parish of Immaculate Conception began construction of its facility. In 1973 the gymnasium for the campus was completed.
Following numerous efforts at citywide consolidation of Sheboygan’s Catholic Schools, the leadership of St. Peter Claver and Immaculate Conception merged their schools are the beginning of the 1986-1987 School year.
In 1999, Ss. Cyril and Methodius Parish became a full member of the Christ Child Academy community.
In 2005 the elementary Campus with classes from 3 year old Kindergarten through 5th Grade were consolidated with the middle school at the Immaculate Conception Campus now hosting pre K – 8th grade.
Our deepest appreciation goes to the parishioners of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, St. Peter Claver and Immaculate Conception Parishes for their generous support of our ministry. We are committed to being a continued source of pride for their parishes.
