CCD stands for "Confraternity of Christian Doctrine" and refers to 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 in order for your child to receive their sacraments.

In the first year, this requirement can be fulfilled through parish CCD classes, Catholic school enrollment, or completion of a full year using an approved Catholic homeschool program.

In the second year, children who intend to receive Holy Communion or Confirmation at St. Anne Catholic Church must be enrolled in parish Religious Education classes. Homeschooling parents may choose Sunday CCD classes or an approved homeschool Catholic Sacrament Preparation curriculum. They are also required to attend all retreats, special events, and have their mass booklets stamped after every mass.
