The Religious Ed Program (CCD-Confraternity of Christian Doctrine Program) at St. Anne’s is operated in accordance with the requirements of the Diocese of Hong Kong. We are one of the few parishes in Hong Kong with an English speaking program that operate classes from Pre-Kindergarten through Confirmation. The teachers and administrators of the program are all members of the Parish who offer their time and talents as volunteers to teach the next generation of Catholics. We use the Blest are We series which is approved by the Council of American Bishops. This program provides a solid foundation of the Catholic Faith and Doctrine. It is our prayer that through this program every child will develop a better appreciation of their faith and learn the joy of being an active Catholic in thought and action.

2016-17 CCD Calendar for Classes and Events

Hello,

I hope your Summer holiday has been wonderful, safe, relaxing, hassle free and re-invigorating.

We are looking forward to welcoming you and your family back at St. Anne's when you arrive. If you have left HK, please know that we have enjoyed having your children in the program.

Please log in now and register your students for 2016-17 CCD classes. If you have forgotten your password, you can reset it. Once you have logged in, you should see a "CCD Registration" link in the top menu.

Please give some thought to helping out. Many of last years teachers will no longer be with us this year and we are in need of teacher, teacher assistants and substitute teachers. There is a section on the Pre Registration form where you can indicate your willingness to serve. We can't do this with out you. The CCD program at St. Anne's is 100% volunteer.

I have attached the calendar here so you can see when classes start.

Once again, we look forward to welcome you back when we see you.

In Him,

CCD Team

Thank You!

As our CCD program draws to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that made it possible for our students to continue on their important faith journey.

Our sincere gratitude to all the teachers, student teachers and parent volunteers, some who traveled great distances every week, who donated their time and spent countless hours preparing these young people and helping them get closer to Jesus; to the choir and flower ministries who helped make the Confirmation and First Holy Communion ceremonies; to the church staff, Jacqueline and Desmond, for their flexibility and hard work, and to Father John for his support and guidance. This program could not happen without everyone's dedication and commitment and we are eternally grateful.

Registration for the new CCD year will begin in late June, early July - please check the website then. Program will resume late August.

Have a great summer everyone!
