Whether your church calls it CCD (which stands for “Confraternity of Christian Doctrine”) or just plain ‘ol RE for “Religious Education”, educating children about the faith is obviously a big passion of mine!

Thanks so much for sharing these resources! I’m new to getting involved with CCD teaching and hardly know where to start. These sorts of posts are a huge help.
God Bless.
