The CCD (religious education) program has only just begun for the 2020-2021 school year. We had essentially an open house Sunday, September 27, 2020, to orient our teachers and some of our students to our new classroom venues, given that the local public school cannot accommodate us this year due to the pandemic.  A letter, calendar, and a registration form went out by email to all the parents who had students in the program last year.  If anyone needs these, they can call the office at (815) 239-1271, send us an email message at stmary-pecatonica@rockforddiocese.org, or find those below.  This 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.

By the way, we are looking for a fourth grade CCD teacher and a seventh grade CCD teacher.  As long as one is a Catholic in good standing with the Catholic Church, is willing to take the steps to be approved for working with children in our program, and has a desire to share the Catholic faith with children, you might be just the person we are looking for.  Also, CCD teachers with any children in the CCD program at this parish have the fees waived for their children in the program (essentially a $30 fee per child to cover books and other materials supplied by the program).
