Children’s Religious Education
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD)
Welcome Back Students and Families to the 2023-2024 Religious Education School Year!
Kids are our future.
And the best faith foundation we can give them in life is to receive the holy sacraments.

A note from the director:
Religious Education is the process by which we, both children and adults, learn more about our faith. One of the goals of our RE program is to teach, model, and experience what it means to “live” our faith in the world and to “see and feel” where it is that God touches our lives. This goal can only be accomplished through the combined efforts of parents, clergy, catechists, teachers, staff, and our church communities, along with the continued and constant support of God's grace.
