North American Martyrs CCD

CCD

Students in first through eighth grade who attend public schools or are home-schooled during the school year are invited and encouraged to participate in CCD. Classes meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-7:30pm beginning in September.

Philosophy

North American Martyrs CCD Program seeks to fulfill the mandate of Christ to teach the gospel to all people. (MT 28:18-20)

As a religious institution, the school seeks to assist Catholic parents in their duty as the primary religious educators of their children by teaching ecclesiastical doctrine and building community through common prayer and Christ-like service.
