CCD HELP NEEDED - The 2009 CCD year has ended and now we begin planning for 2009 – 2010. We are in need of volunteer teachers for all grades. The CCD program in Catholic churches throughout the country is a vital and important area of concern. It is important that we keep our children motivated to practice their faith and remain in the Catholic Church – they are our future. If you are interested in teaching or being a teacher’s aid, or if you can’t be there each and every week, perhaps you can substitute for us when a teacher is absent. Whatever you can do will be much appreciated. Please contact Susan Stanek – 543-2730 for further information. |

CCD CLASSES - are completed for the 2008-2009 school year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those involved - teachers, parents, assistant, and Mary Arabik for her time and talent in organizing the classes, without which this program would not have been successful. |
