CCD Program

Our CCD programs are an effort of the Parish Community to provide a supplementary education in the faith of the Church. The parents are primarily responsible for the development of their children. How a child prays and worships God and how he or she relates to others in a Christian way are values which children are already experiencing when they begin CCD in first grade and are values which grow because of the religious environment of the home.


The Eucharist, the center of our life of faith, is the focal point of religious education and growth in faith. The main purpose of the programs offered by our CCD program is to reinforce a Eucharistic spirituality.


The CCD program seeks to assist parents in their task of instructing children in the Catholic faith - our beliefs, values and practices. It also strives to assist parents in teaching the children what it means to be a follower of Jesus. The program of instruction for children in kindergarten through grade 8 presents the concepts of God, the Commandments, the Sacraments, Works of Mercy, Mary, Saints and Church in a manner appropriate to the children's level of understanding. The program also encourages service to the Christian community.
