Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD)
The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) is an association established at Rome in 1562 for the purpose of giving religious instruction. Today the term CCD (sometimes incorrectly called Catholic Christian Doctrine) refers to the classes offered to school age children to help educate them in the basic teachings of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church recognizes parents as the primary educators of their children. The School of Religion is here to support you in this responsibility. It is our goal to make certain that your children are spiritually and academically prepared for adult membership in the Church.

- 7th & 8th Grade Confirmation Class Info
- Here you will find information for parents and students who are preparing to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Baptism, Holy Communion (the Eucharist), and Confirmation together constitute the "Sacraments of Christian Initiation". Confirmation "perfects Baptismal grace" and gives the Holy Spirit to incorporate us more firmly into Christ. (see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraphs 1285 and 1316).
