3. Religious Education for Children (CCD)
To help our children to know, to love, and to serve God, which is to say, to enter into a personal communion with the Most Holy Trinity. Thirty-five parishioners, of all ages, volunteer their time and talents to help parents – in their role as primary educators of their children – by providing a systematic and structured weekly religious education program using the Faith & Life series.

First Penance and First Holy Communion are received in second grade but we require first grade in addition to second grade to prepare the children adequately for this most holy sacrament. If your child is already enrolled in second grade and you would like to know important upcoming dates, please click here.
Both seventh and eighth grade attendance are required in order to receive the holy sacrament of Confirmation in eighth grade. If your child is already enrolled in eighth grade and you would like to know important upcoming dates, please click here. If you need any of the necessary forms for Confirmation Sponsor, Service Hours, please click here.
If your child is past second grade age (past 8 years old) and is missing any or all of the initiation sacraments (baptism, first holy communion, and confirmation) or has not made their first confession, please contact the Religious Education Office at your earliest convenience. We have a special program so that your child may “catch up.”
