CCD - Religious Education for Children Grades K through 8
(First Communion students participating in a recreation of the Last Supper with Father Kevin at their retreat)
Parents are the first catechists of their children. In the family, faith is shared as part of the unfolding of daily life. The home, the “domestic church,” provides a place for children to come to understand their faith and learn to live it.
Through CCD classes, we strive to support parents in this important work by continuing the religious education that begins at home. Our classes are for children in kindergarten through eighth grade.
For children who do not attend a Catholic school, sacramental preparation for First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation occurs through CCD. Students must have two years of religious instruction prior to receiving these sacraments.
Class times:
Sundays from 10:15am-11:45am - Kindergarten through 8th grade
Mondays from 6:45pm-8:00pm - 8th grade only
All CCD parents are asked to attend one four-week class about the Catholic faith. The classes will be offered while the kids are in CCD to make it convenient for parents to attend. The classes help parents develop the tools they need in order to share their faith with their children and to reinforce at home the lessons the children are learning throughout the year in CCD. The sign-up for parent classes is included in the online registration form.
CCD Tuition:
1 child - $125
2 children - $175
3+ children - $225Note: $100 out-of-parish fee for each family not registered at St. Mary's.
Make checks payable to: "St. Mary's Church"
