Welcome!

Scroll to the bottom for VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSE and First CCD Class Information.  

 We are thrilled to have your family join us for the 2020-2021 school year. During these uncertain times, we understand that families are responding in different ways, and that the needs of each individual family are unique and important. We want to ensure we are supporting parents and continuing the important work of catechesis, while also meeting the pastoral needs of our parish at this time.

In that spirit, parents will be given three options to choose from in regards to CCD classes for this year:

• Option 1: Traditional Weekly CCD Classes: 
  • Elementary and Middle School Classes are scheduled meet on Sundays at 9:15am or 11:45am. High School CCD will meet on Monday evenings. 
  • Grade levels will be spread out in various locations on the campus to help with social distancing in the classes, though it cannot be guaranteed. 
  • Students and catechists will be required to wear a mask. 
  • Availability of classes is contengent on availability of catechists. If not enough catechists are available, one class time will have to be eliminated. 
  • Find more information and register for Weekly CCD Classes here.

• Option 2: Family Catechesis 
  • Families (children and parents included) will attend class once a month. 
  • During these monthly meetings, children will receive age-appropriate catechesis in smaller groups (Kindergarten through 3rd Grade, 4th Grade through 6th Grade, 7th Grade through 8th Grade). 
  • Also during these montly meetings, parents will receive their own catechesis, as well as resources necessary to lead Family Faith Formation at home during the rest of the month. 
  • All materials for these easy-to-use at-home lessons are provded, so no lesson planning is necesssary. 
  • Resources are created to help support parents in their role as the primary catechists of their children, while also being accessible for parents who are less confident in this sacred role. 
  • Because class sizes are limited and spacing is not an issue, masks are not required for participants who maintain social distance in their small groups. 
  • Find more information and register for Monthly Family Catechesis here. 

• Option 3: Online Classes 
  • Through MyCatholicFaithDelivered.com, students will have access to the entire Religious Education program that is being used in our classrooms. 
  • Students will be given 1-2 lessons to complete online each week. 
  • Lesson schedule will line up with the schedule of in-person classes. 
  • Catechists will be assigned to students to ensure accountability and provide assistance as needed. 
  • Families will be required to meet in person with parish staff at least once during the semester for progress evaluation. 
  • Students will be invited to participate in parish programs and events, and are encouraged to remain connected to our parish life.

The above video should answer any questions about our Face-to-Face learning, which begins on Sunday, September 13. More information about Sunday classes, online classes, and Family Catechesis can be found above. 

A few important notes: 

• Pick-up and drop-off procedures have changed. Please be sure to watch the video and familiarize yourself with the new process. Details, including calendar, family door assignments and the Parent Handbook will be found on the Weekly CCD Classes page. 

• We are taking every precaution to protect the health and safety of our students and catechists. Masks will be required by all, and physical distancing will be maintained as best as possible. Classrooms and commonly touched surfaces will be disinfected after each class. 

• Though this year presents many new challenges and demands updated procedures, we have not raised the CCD registration fee from last year. To help bridge the gap between the registration fees and the cost of materials, etc, I have created an Amazon Wish List. Please consider purchasing an item or sharing the list with a friend!

• Volunteers are still needed! We are looking for dedicated, faithful Catechists, as well as parent volunteers (door duty, substitute, etc.) Please contact click here for more information. 

• Have another question? I will be in Holy Family Hall after all Masses September 5-6 to answer questions. You can also contact me at ccd@stannerh.org.
