Parents are the primary educators of their children especially with regard to the Catholic faith. The CCD Program is designed to assist parents of public school or home-schooled children in Grades 1 - 8 with this Catholic education. High school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors who have not received Confirmation also participate in CCD.
The most important responsibilities of a CCD Parent are to personally practice the Catholic faith and to ensure that your children do the same. This includes attending Mass every Sunday (or Saturday night if necessary) and every Holy Day of Obligation. Mass should only be missed for a serious reason such as illness, dangerous weather or road conditions, or a true emergency. Shopping, running errands, sports, hobbies, vacations, social activities/parties, and "sleeping in" are NOT serious reasons for missing Mass.
