Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD)

The CCD Program of St. Charles Parish seeks to work with parents of elementary age students (grades K-8) promoting knowledge of faith, liturgical education, and moral formation. Through prayerful experiences, community atmosphere, and missionary spirit, we attempt to help every child build an intimate relationship with God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in conjunction with the Catholic Church.

Classes begin:

Special Buddies are a part of the CCD Program that attends to students with special needs. It is essential that all forms of the liturgy be completely accessible to persons with disabilities, since these forms are the essence of the spiritual tie that binds our Christian community together. Realistic provisions are made for Catholics with disabilities to participate fully in the Eucharist and other liturgical celebrations. For more information call Religious Education Office.

CCD Catechists and Volunteers are people who regularly teach, aid, and/or help in the office during CCD each Sunday. Catechesis is the act of bringing the Church’s teachings to the world and these volunteers, by virtue of their Baptism, pass on their faith and are witness to the Gospel. To offer your services call the Religious Education Office.

Liturgy of the Word for Children is a celebration of God’s Word for young children grades K-4, to help them understand the Sunday Scripture on their level. To offer your help please call the Religious Education Office.

Any changes to the dates and times listed below will be announced in the bulletin.  For information, call the Religious Education Office.
