Elementary Religious
Education (CCD)
CCD registration for
students attending public schools (grades 1-8) is ongoing.
Students and families are welcome at any time of
year. Our program includes regular religion classes,
a human growth and development curriculum, and
intergenerational family nights, as well as Masses, Prayer
Services, Penance Services, and visits from the Pastor and
Deacon. New families are asked to bring a copy of
your child's baptismal certificate at the time you enroll
in classes.
C.O.R.E. (Cooperative Opportunities in Religious Education)
Religion classes for
students attending public high schools (grades 9-12) are
held at Columbus High School on Wednesdays from 6:30 -
8:00p.m. These classes are scheduled in nine-week
sessions and offered first & second semester of each
year.
First semester dates
are: Sept. 21, 28, Oct. 5,
12, 19, 26, Nov. 2, 9, 16
Second semester dates
are: Feb. 15, 22, 29, March
7, 21, 28, April 4, 11, 18. NO CLASSES on March
14th.
These classes provide basic religious education and are
similar to the courses taught at Columbus High
School. Annie Zeets (239-0163) is the CORE
coordinator for all participating parishes.
Students MAY NOT participate in any parish Confirmation
program without basic high school level religion courses,
so it is important to enroll in these classes!
Registration flyers will
be mailed directly to all Sacred Heart public high school
families. Please watch your mail for the flyers and return
them to the address listed on the flyer. If you have
any questions, please call Pam Johnston at 234-8394.
