CCD & Faith Formation

All children of our parish from K-8 should be enrolled each year in CCD if they do not attend Catholic School. CCD is for children in grades pre-K through 8 where they meet weekly for religious instruction and formation. This very important ministry is one way the parish assists parents in their role as primary formators of their children in the ways of faith.

meets each Sunday of the school year from 9:30 to 11:00 am in the Religious Education Center

Children (ages 3 through 2nd grade) are called forward during Mass and then sent forth with their teachers to hear the Word of God (the Bible readings) at an age-appropriate level, and then to interact with the Word through song and activity to help them better understand.
