St. Paul Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD)/Religious Education
St. Paul's CCD program is committed to educating and engaging the youth in their Catholic faith so they may help spread the good news of Jesus Christ knowledgeably and confidently. St. Paul CCD class takes place after school in the church rectory, and it is organized by our Ministry leader, Theresa Smith, according to what she finds to be the most appropriate fit, such as by grade level.
CCD also includes preparation for First Communion, First Penance, and Confirmation preparation, and this special preparation for the sacraments does not require any additional times outside of the weekly class time described above. Here are the current class times*:
| Day | Time | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | 3:30 – 4:45 pm 5:00 – 6:00 pm | Level 5-6 Level 7-8 (Confirmation Prep) |
| Tuesday | 3:30 – 4:45 pm | Level 1 |
| Wednesday | 3:30 – 4:45 pm | Level 2 (First communion prep) |
| Thursday | 3:30 – 4:45 pm | Level 3-4 |
*Subject to change
