Considering the current situation, and keeping the safety of everyone in mind, the Parish council and CCD leadership have decided to keep our CCD classes online, till December 2020.
The CCD classes will start the week of September 13th, depending on the schedule agreed upon by parents and the teachers. Classes have been intentionally avoided in the mornings on Sundays to enable those who would like to attend the Qurbana in-person, to do so.
There will not be any online classes for Pre-K and Kindergarten students. Parents will be sent the teaching materials for these grades. Parents may contact us if you need help.
