Confraternity of Christian Doctrine

The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine is commonly referred to by its abbreviation, or simply as "Catechism", and provides religious education to Catholic children attending secular schools.  Similar to children's Sunday School in Protestant churches, CCD education is provided by both members of the clergy and lay staff, although unlike Sunday school, it is held after school on weekdays.  CCD classes are open to children in kindergarten through 12th grade attending our local public schools.

CCD attendance is considered by Vatican officials to be vital to children's development as Catholics. These classes not only educate children about Jesus and the Catholic faith, but prepare children to receive the three Sacraments of Initiation:

1. Baptism
2. Confirmation (Receipt of the Gift of the Holy Spirit)http://catholicism.about.com/od/beliefsteachings/p/Confirmation.htm
3. Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) and

Classes are held Wednesdays, after school, in the Parish Hall. Please contact the Coordinator, Faith Formation for information.
