About Religious Education (CCD)

The weekly religious education classes at St. Edward's are taught by wonderful, faith-filled volunteer catechists who want to help the children of St. Ed's know and love our Lord. All children from grade K to grade 8 who are not in Catholic school are encouraged to attend. Catholic school students in grade 2 or grade 8 should register for the 1st Reconciliation/1st Communion, or Confirmation programs, respectively.

Registration for the 2022-2023 year will be available sometime in the summer. Classes will start in September.

Fees: $45 for one child, $80 for two children, $110 for three or one children.
Late Fees (after August 15): $60 for one child, $95 for two children, $125 for three or more children

Do you love your faith and want to share it with others? Does it bring you joy to pass down our Church's teaching to the next generation? Then consider becoming a catechist in the St. Edward's religious education program!  All catechists receive training from the DREs and must be background-checked by the archdiocese.
