Registration I Information I Schedule I Attendance Policy
Where are we meeting?
All Classes will be held at St. Mary School from 8:30-9:45.
Drop-off will begin at 8:15 in the alley on the Third Street side of the building.
Parents are welcome to park or drive up and drop off.
Do we need to attend mass and CCD?
The Mass offers Catholics (and everyone else!) a unique opportunity to encounter God that is unavailable elsewhere. Attending CCD helps us in the understanding of our beliefs and what we do while we are at mass.
How will I know if CCD is canceled?
CCD cancelations will be emailed out and will be posted on the Basilica Facebook page.
Is weekly attendance required?
YES! Please see the attendance policy.

THE CATECHISM ON THE DUTY OF PARENTS:
#2223 Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children…
#2224 The home is the natural environment for initiating a human being into solidarity and communal responsibilities…
#2225 Through the grace of the sacrament of marriage, parents receive the responsibility and privilege of evangelizing their children. Parents should initiate their children at an early age into the mysteries of the faith of which they are the “first heralds” for their children. They should associate them from their tenderest years with the life of the Church. A wholesome family life can foster interior dispositions that are a genuine preparation for a living faith and remain a support for it throughout one’s life.
