CCD 2025-26
We are excited to be back in person in 2025-26 to help families with sacramental preparation through CCD religious education classes (CCD stands for "Confraternity of Christian Doctrine"). CCD will involve in-person classes designed to prepare children for the sacraments of Holy First Communion and Confirmation. Please see details below about signing up and the required registration fee.
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 to speak with one of our office team members who are ready to assist you.
