Religious Education (CCD)

As a community of faith, we have the responsibility of sharing that faith with our youth. Our formal program is viewed as a complement to, and not a substitute for, the Christian formation of children by parents in the home. In our Religious Education Program, the student is exposed to the proclamation of Good News in the Gospel and to an expression of faith as it is celebrated and lived in the Catholic tradition. Catechists who work with the students are carefully trained and encouraged to apply for certification by the Archdiocese of Chicago Office for Religious Education which offers courses for these volunteers.
