Perparing  God's  Children  to   recieve  The   Eucharist

The Eucharist is the very sacrifice of the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus which he instituted to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until his return in glory. Thus he entrusted to his Church this memorial of his death and Resurrection. It is a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet, in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

Our C.C.D Program

We offer a two year C.C.D. program that prepares baptized children to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion. Here are some of the requirements needed to complete the program and receive the sacrament:
  • The child must be at least 7 years old
  • A valid certificate of baptism must be presented at the time of registration
  • A copy of the child's birth certificate
  • A copy of the health insurance or Medicaid card
  • Regular attendance is mandatory
  • Attendance at parent meetings
  • If a child is to attend C.C.D. classes in Spanish, he/she must be able to read and write in Spanish​
  • All C.C.D students must be signed in and signed out from the C.C.D classes throughout the year​

The C.C.D. Classes are once a week from October to the end of April.

The following is a list of available class times:
Wednesday – 4:00 pm until 5:15 pm
Thursday – 4:00 pm until 5:15 pm
Saturday – 9:30 am until 10:45 am
Saturday – 11:00 am – 12:15 pm (Spanish)

Annual Fees:
​
$50 per Child
These registration fees also include the required books. Starting on September 1st a $10.00 late fee will be charged per child.

R.C.I.C. Program

Rite of Christian Initiation for Children
If the child is 7 years old and has not yet been baptized, he/she must enroll in the R.C.I.C. program. R.C.I.C. is a 2 year program that will prepare the child to receive the Sacraments of Baptism and First Holy Communion.

The initiation of children of catechetical age is a process based on their personal conversion. It is adapted to their spiritual progress and growth of faith rather than on cognitive knowledge. Because the  criteria for initiation are based on assessing conversion of heart and action (RCIA #42 and 75), there is no time­line for initiating these children. It could take several years, if necessary. “The duration of the  catechumenate will depend on the grace of God and on various circumstances…” (RCIA #76)
