Always refer to calendar given at the beginning of the year. It will be posted on the parish website
We will set up REMIND 101 for CCD REMINDERS and important news or changes
When Lafayette Parish is out of school on a Monday or for a holiday or in-service, We will not have CCD.
Please only drop your child off if a teacher is there to greet and receive them.
If in doubt PLEASE call

16. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO PARTICIPATE IN MY CHILD’S FAITH FORMATION?
Children are more likely to follow your example than what you say.
Children’s beliefs are strongly linked to their parents beliefs and actions.
We as parents are obligated and promised at our child’s baptism to educate about our Catholic Faith and Doctrine.
Our children want to spend quality time with us and want to know what is important to us by our actions and our words.

17. HOW MANY WAYS CAN MY FAMILY PARTICIPATE AND HELP FACILITATE MY CHILD’S FAITH FORMATION?
