Due to the recommendations by the CDC, as well as state and Diocesan guidelines regarding the COVID pandemic, CCD will be virtual this year. At this time, we anticipate a start date in early October in order to give our program volunteers enough time to prepare for the changes.
VIRTUAL CCD 2nd through 6th Grade:
Classes will still follow the same Wednesday/Thursday schedule at 4:30p.m. Students will have a custom CCD email for Google Meets and Google Classroom which they will utilize to log-in to their weekly classes and meet with their instructor. Classes will run approximately 30 minutes.
Home-Study 1st Grade:
This year 1st Grade will be doing home-study for CCD.
The book, Christ Our Life, hand-outs, and a suggested chapter guide will be provided for you. For best results, simply do the assigned chapter for the designated week so that your child can learn at a steady, consistent pace. We suggest reading the chapter together and doing all the book activities/hand-outs. Since every child learns differently, you have the freedom to move at a different pace.
Our goal is for you and your child to have fun together!

VIRTUAL CCD 7th & 8th Grade:
Classes for 7th and 8th grade will be following a new format this year. The 7th/8th grade Confirmation classes will be more independent with bi-weekly assignments for a program called Decision Point—a dynamic video/book series that addresses student needs and questions about the Catholic Faith in a relevant way. Students will have a custom CCD email. Students will respond via Google classroom to the assignments which will be reviewed by their respective teachers. Periodic virtual meetings with the teachers will be offered throughout the year.
FORMED.ORG – Supplemental Program for all CCD Families
We are excited to announce a learning tool called FORMED that will be used by some of our teachers, and more importantly by students and parents in the home.
The Formed Program will be a supplement to the regular program we will be using.
FORMED.org is a premier on-line platform filled with over 4,000 Catholic studies, movies, cartoons, audio dramas, ebooks, and talks – and it’s free for every St. Jane parishioner.
All parents and guardians need to subscribe to FORMED.

Thank you for your commitment to being the primary educators of your children. It is from you that they first learn about the truth and beauty of their faith.
