Catholic Christian Doctrine (CCD) Instruction

Our 2023-2024 Parish Religious Education Program will offer weekly faith formation classes for children not enrolled in Our Lady of Fatima School. It is the obligation of Catholic parents to ensure that their children receive instruction in the Catholic faith. The goal of the Parish Religious Education Program is to assist parents in their role as the primary educators their children in the faith.

Class Times

Catechism (CCD) classes for children in grades K-7 will be held every Sunday (except holidays), beginning September 2023, and ending May 2024. The weekly program will begin with Mass at 10:00 AM followed by classroom instruction in the school building from 11:00 AM-12:30 PM. Parents are required to attend the first class, in which they will receive their workbooks, class schedule and general instructions.

Registration

There is a registration/book fee of $75 per child for all grades to help cover the cost of books and supplies. The parish subsidizes the Religious Education Program because the registration fees alone only
defray the cost of the textbooks and do not cover the actual cost of the entire program. Registration is
due August 25, 2023.

Registration for Catechism classes will begin August 8th in the Parish Office. In order to be registered
for CCD, parents will need to fill out a registration form and provide:

• $75.00 Book fee in cash or check.
• $25.00 Inactive/ Non-parishioner fee (if parents have not been registered at Our Lady of Fatima for a year).
• A copy of their child’s Baptism Certificate.
• Bring students to every class on time and pick them up on time.

If public health conditions at any time do not permit in-person gatherings, we will continue scheduled classes via video-conferencing sessions in which you will be notified via email.
