CCD Program

Welcome to Maria Immacolata CCD Program

 


Our Religious Education Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) program is divided into two sections, Our Lower CCD classes are composed of children in grades 1-5 and our Upper CCD class is for children grades 6-11.  All of our segments are designed to enrich the Catholic life of our students and encourage them to grow in the faith.

Lower CCD is open to all public school children whose parents are registered parishioners of our parish.  The program provides the students with an overview of their Catholic faith.  In the second grade, students are prepared to receive the sacraments of First Penance and First Eucharist.  

Upper CCD is open to all public school children whose parents are registered parishioners of our parish.  The Confirmation Program is included in the Upper CCD program.  Our Confirmation students have two years of Confirmation formation in which time they are preparing to own their faith and to confirm their belief in Christ and his church.  Both public and private school children go through this process together and receive the sacrament at the parish level.  

Our CCD teachers are very dedicated to planting the first seeds of faith in early formation, nurturing that seed with the help of parents as they progress through the series and finally guiding that seed as it bears fruit in the Sacrament of Confirmation.


Lower CCD

Our Lower CCD program is held on Monday nights from 5:30 - 7:00 pm at the Community Gathering Center next to Church. Our Lower CCD program gives religious nurturing to first through fifth grade. Through the lower CCD program, our children celebrate two Sacraments for the first time, Holy Eucharist and Reconciliation.


Upper CCD

Our Upper CCD program is held on Sunday afternoons from 3:30 pm - 6:30 pm at the Community Gathering Center.  Classes end with the Celebration of Holy Mass (Youth Mass) at 5:30 pm in the main church.  This program reaches young people in grades 6 - 11th.

Our 11th grade students celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation.
