An email has been sent to all families with the Registration Form and CCD Calendar for the 2011-2012 school year.  Please submit your registration by August 15, 2011 so an accurate book order can be made.

There has been a modest fee change. For the past five years St. Bernard’s Church has paid over four dollars for every one dollar of registration fee taken into the program. To help alleviate this loss and to bring St. Bernard’s fees more in line with the other area churches, this fee change was found necessary. It is important to know that no one will be sent away from CCD classes if they cannot pay the registration fee.  Please contact Father Ed if you need assistance.

CCD classes will begin this year on September 11, 2011.  Please consider using your time and talents with the CCD program. We are always in need of teachers and assistant teachers, substitute teachers and crossing guards.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Lori Ryan at 860-658-4940.

Our education in faith is a lifelong journey.  Stay tuned for an adult faith formation opportunity we are planning for CCD parents this year.
