Confraternity of Christian Doctrine

CCD Formation Program

CCD can provide benefits well beyond a strong sense of faith. It gives a strong community of friends, teachers and clergy with the same moral base, and a stable environment in which to learn, grow and thrive.

For those who missed our All-Parent meeting for Catechism, First Communion, and Confirmation classes this year or for a quick summary:

We are running our programs in two semesters, fall and spring, each being two months a piece. Confirmation will only consist of one "semester" and will finish in the fall. There will, however, be a "post-confirmation" group started in the spring.

Please see below the main points about our program this year:

Every Sunday (for 2 months): 8:30am-10:00am in the Hall
