THE CCD PROGRAM
What Does CCD Mean?
CCD stands for Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. A “CCD” was established in 1562 at Rome to help with the education of Catholics in the faith. In modern times, it has come to mean a program of Catholic education for all parish children.
Goals of the CCD Program The Cathedral of Christ the King CCD Program exists to provide its students with a basic yet firm foundation of religious education that is developed and nurtured within a faith-filled environment. This is accomplished when these goals are achieved: • To proclaim the message of Jesus Christ by providing a religious program based on Scripture and Tradition • To encourage reception of the Sacraments by preparing students to understand and appreciate their importance and necessity in their life • To foster reverence for the Church and our Catholic religion • To foster growth in our faith community by providing valuable experiences of shared prayer and worship • To encourage a spirit of charity by promoting positive Christian attitudes to one’s responsibility toward God, others, and self • To encourage students to be actively engaged and responsible for their faith formation • To foster cooperation and communication among the parish community, religious education staff, parents, and students • CCD meets from 9:45 a.m. to 10:50 a.m. every Sunday during the school year
The mission of the Cathedral of Christ the King’s CCD program is to foster within an educational environment the teaching and values of Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic Church. Through the promotion of these teachings and values, a Catholic community is created where students are accepted, cherished, and challenged. We recognize that parents are the primary religious educators of their children in faith development, and we assume a mutual responsibility to enhance this development.
