CCD THANKSGIVING
On Sunday June 11th the parish will mark the end of CCD for 2022-’23. The 11 am Mass will be a thanksgiving celebration for all the children, their teachers, and parents.
As you all know, CCD is an important part of the life of our parish. St. Joseph’s is very happy to assist parents with the important duty of handing on the faith to their children. We also appreciate very much the parents and others who have volunteered as teachers and assistants in CCD.
This year’s celebration will also focus on the preparations for the 2023-’24 session of CCD. We invite everyone to the garden after Mass where there will be tables with information about all the stages of CCD. We will also ask parents to register their children who will be in CCD next year. There will be information and help for parents and others who may like to volunteer as teachers or assistants.
This year we are making a special effort to have class lists and assigned teachers ready for the beginning of the new school year in the Autumn. We ask for your cooperation to achieve this goal.
On behalf of the parish, I want to thank Heather, Roselyne and all the teachers and assistants who make CCD possible and help to pass on knowledge of the Catholic faith to the new generations.
