St. Cassian Parish offers religious education programs for children in grades 1 through 8.
Classes are offered several times during the week. Families are encouraged to select the day and time that works best for their schedules. Attendance at weekly classes is very important.
Registration
Families can register for our Religious Education Program by going to the parish website. The families of our students must be registered members of St. Cassian parish. Information for parish registration is also available on this website or feel free to stop by the parish office.
Sacrament Preparation
Children are prepared for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion during first and second grade and receive the sacraments during the second grade. Confirmation is celebrated during the spring of eighth grade. The candidates are prepared during seventh and eighth grades.
Catechists
Our program is staffed by volunteer catechists. Training is offered by the Archdiocese of Newark and our Parish Catechetical Leader. All adult volunteers are required to be certified by the Protecting God’s Children program.
Calendar
Our Program runs from late September until early May. We try to align our schedule with that of the local public school calendars. You can check back here during the summer for the posting of our 2023–2024 calendar. The calendar will be updated throughout the year with any important changes.
ATTENTION: All families that currently have their child registered in our CCD program should refer to the Parish Giving welcome email sent on 4/17 to register for 2023-2024 Religious Education.
