Parish CCD

With heavy hearts the Diocese of Metuchen mourns the passing of His Holiness, Pope Francis. From the moment of his election as Supreme Pontiff when he took the name Francis, our Holy Father has emphasized the mercy of God, embracing in his Petrine ministry the poor, the migrant, the marginalized and all those broken by this world’s problems and concerns. We entrust his noble soul to the hands of our Blessed Mother to accompany him to our Father's house. In this Jubilee year in which Pope Francis called us to be Pilgrims of Hope, he has now made the ultimate pilgrimage to the embrace of our loving God.

St. Stan's Relgious Education program will be a flipped classroom approach for the coming year. The program will consist of:

- Completing a chapter in the book at home each week and taking an online quiz after each chapter. Quizzes must be completed by Friday of each week CCD is scheduled.

- Attending weekend Mass at least 15 times between September 11, 2024, and April 30, 2025. Students must sign in at the back of the church before Mass begins. At least one parent must accompany children to Mass. Children may not be dropped off for Mass by themselves.

- Families will also be required to participate in 4 family gatherings from a list of events that will occur between September and April. The events will be announced in advance on the CCD website and in the bulletin. E-mails will also be sent to each family.

CCD will begin on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. All students must attend the first class in person in the school at 4:30 pm. At this time, they will receive detailed instructions regarding learning from home and they will receive their religion book. There will also be a short parent meeting at 5:30 pm on the same day to discuss the details of the program.
