2013-14 CCD Classes
The schedule for the 2013-2014 CCD year will be published soon and on-line pre-registration for all CCD classes will begin in late May or early June. Please watch the bulletin or the parish website for details. Once pre-registration commences, you may access the registration system through the parish website. Due to renovation work in the school by the Diocese, we will have limited space available to us next year. Please be sure to register online as soon as possible. Completion of the registration process, for which you must attend in person, will take place in August, at which time you will pay the necessary fees and collect your child(ren)'s books.

Please note that the Diocese requires that we obtain Baptismal Certificates for all students enrolling in the First Holy Communion classes and Baptismal Certificates as well as proof of First Holy Communion for all students enrolling in the two year Confirmation program. If you do not already have these documents, please obtain copies of them while you are home for the summer.
The CCD program at St. Anne's relies upon volunteers to teach and administer the program. Some of our teachers have already agreed to teach again next year but we need many more volunteers to ensure that we can offer all classes. Please consider giving of your time and talents to help educate our children in our faith. If you are interested in teaching next year or providing other assistance, please contact Paul Munder, Director of the CCD Program, at This email address is being protected from spambots.
