Religious Education - CCD

The schedule follows the Union Public School schedule as closely as possible. Information regarding registration is published in the church bulletin. Click here for the CCD class schedule.

Saint of the Day

Mar. 25 Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, Solemnity

Again Lent's austerity is interrupted as we solemnly keep a feast in honor of the Annunciation. The Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord is a mystery that belongs to the temporal rather than to the sanctoral cycle in the Church's calendar. For the feast commemorates the most sublime moment in the history of time, the moment when the Second Divine Person of the most Holy Trinity assumed human nature in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Thus it is a feast of our Lord, even as it is of Mary, although the liturgy centers wholly around the Mother of God. --The Church's Year of Grace, Pius Parsch

Mar. 24 Friday of the Fourth Week of Lent, Weekday

The hostility of the enemies of Jesus becomes increasingly clear, and the agitation around His person continues with greater intensity; but He awaits His "hour." Satan and the forces of evil will appear to triumph, but the real victory will come and that is God's. --St. Andrew Missal

Mar. 23 Thursday of the Fourth Week of Lent; Optional Memorial of St. Turibius of Mogrovejo, Bishop, Opt. Mem.

And we note how the plot against the Lord's life is thickening. Moses is a type of Christ--the interceding suffering Mediator for God's people. --The Vatican II Weekday Missal
