Confraternity of Christian Doctrine or CCD is our parish Religious Education program for children in grades Kindergarten through 8th Grade. 

"Catechesis is the act of handing on the Word of God intended to inform the faith community and candidates for initiation into the Church about the teachings of Christ, transmitted by the Apostles to the Church. 

Catechesis also involves the lifelong effort of forming people into witnesses to Christ and opening their hearts to the spiritual transformation given by the Holy Spirit. "

All children who are preparing to receive the sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation at St. Anne Catholic Church are required to be enrolled in Religious Education classes for two years prior to the reception of the sacraments. You must be registered for 2 full years and meet with the CRE prior to class registration in order for your child to receive their sacraments.
