CCD 2026-27
We are excited to welcome families to our 2026–27 CCD Religious Education program (CCD stands for "Confraternity of Christian Doctrine"). Through engaging, in-person classes, children will grow in their faith as they prepare to receive the sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation.
CCD is just one aspect of faith formation available in the parish. Other ways that children can engage and learn about their Catholic faith include: regular attendance at Mass to share in the Eucharist as a family, participating in youth-only ministries (e.g. Youth Group and Altar Servers), attending parish pilgrimage trips as a family, and more.
Learn more about our ministries on the "Faith in Action" menu and do not hesitate to stop by the Parish Center or contact the parish office to speak with one of our office team members who are ready to assist you.
