CCD - Religious Education for Children Grades K through 8
First Communion students participating in a recreation of the Last Supper with Father Fields at their retreat.
We are currently working to form a CCD plan for the 2020-2021 school year that will provide the fullness of the Catholic Faith and the best safety precautions to COVID-19 for your children. Thank you for your patience as we work together to serve your family in these most difficult circumstances. Registration for this school year is not yet available. Please e-mail smrockville@gmail.com with any questions or to be notified when the registration form is available.
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
All CCD parents are asked to attend THREE two-week classes 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. All hand-outs and powerpoint presentations will be uploaded at www.stmaryrockville.org/parent-class

1 child - $125
