CCD CLASSES ARE SUSPENDED AS OF 11/20/2020 DUE TO THE LATEST COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS. PARENTS ARE ASKED TO GO OVER THE MATERIAL IN THE TEXTBOOKS WITH THEIR CHILDREN.
The CCD (religious education) program has begun for the 2020-2021 school year, after having been cut short in March due to the pandemic shutdown. Since there may be another shutdown in the fall or winter, this school year we will rely on parents to go over the material for each class with their child (or children), and either have their child come to class or work with the teacher remotely to reinforce the lessons. We will make adjustments as needed as we proceed through the year.
Some parents are choosing to homeschool their children in religious education this year, which is perfectly acceptable. We would just ask that they still register their child, pay the $30 fee (which covers the book or books), and keep in touch with the catechist as far as which lessons will be covered when, and whether any additional support is available, such as online resources.
The letter to parents, CCD registration form, and revised calendar are available by clicking the links below, and can be printed out.
May God bless our children and all of us as we seek to better learn and live our faith in this challenging time.
