CCD Program

 Welcome to all of our families whether you are returning to us from last year or joining us for the first time.

The CCD Registration page is open. If you have not registered your children yet, you can find the link on the St. Anne's web site after you log in. We are asking all families to register their children if they wish to join the classes this year. Please do this by 10am on Sunday, 27th August to give us enough time to have everything ready to start classes.

Classes will begin on Sunday, the 10th September.

We most likely will be in need of teachers this year. If you are willing to serve our ministry, which it is run 100% by volunteers, please let us know (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). We need teachers, co teachers, teacher assistants and office help.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone very soon.

Teachers & Teachers’ Aides for CCD

Perhaps the most critical ministry in which the Church engages is passing the faith on to those we most treasure, our children. Teaching the faith was the role first given to the Apostles after Jesus' resurrection, and it remains the primary ministry of Bishops today. Teaching our own children in structured ways such as CCD is a concrete and vital actualization of that sacred ministry.

We are making a special appeal for women and men, both mature and in their teen years, to step forward before the Summer break to commit to leading a class in our CCD program starting in September. In the nine months between mid September to the 3rd week of May, there are approximately 25 scheduled class sessions and almost 10 weeks of recesses during school holidays. Please be generous to God's mission among us for our children through this vital ministry

We are looking for teachers, administration staff, and a possible new leader of the program for the next generation of CCD.You can contact me, Paul Munder, Sandra Gallaudet, or Amy Turner in the next 3 weeks to convey your willingness.

Thank you for your prayerful consideration. Fr. John

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!
