CALENDAR & FORMS DOWNLOAD

Faith Formation (CCD)

Classes meet Sunday mornings between the 9:00 and 11:30 Masses.

  • K – 12th Grade, 10:00-11:15am in the Parish Hall

Welcome to St. Cecilia’s Faith Formation Program (formerly known as CCD). Unpacking the truths of the Faith and developing a deep relationship with God is a lifelong process and essential for peace and happiness in our unpredictable and chaotic world. Our goal is to support families in that ongoing process by providing children with religious education that not only teaches what we believe as Catholics but also why we believe it, giving them a solid faith foundation on which to build happy and successful lives.
