Children's Religious Education (CCD)

We offer a comprehensive religious education program for children of Pre-kindergarten age through 8th grade. It is through this program that children receive instruction in their faith to grow in their relationship with God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This program integrates preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation. Religious education is a life long process and we invite all children to become part of the program whether or not you have received the Sacraments. The program approximately coincides with the school year. Registration is required, however there is no charge for the program. 2008-2009 classes will begin September 7, 2008. Age 3years through 6 years will be held on Sundays at 8:45-9:45. and Thursday 10:00am-11:15am. First Holy Communion class will be Sunday 8:45am- 9:45am. Grades 3-8 will be Sunday 8:45- 9:45am Please print and complete registration form on this page. Registration can be turned in any Monday-Friday at church office.
