Early CCD registration ended June 30. There is a late registration period that extends from
July 1-31. (see the bulletin for details) We have begun making preparations for the
upcoming CCD year based on our numbers from early registration. Keep in mind that
registration forms have been available to you since March. With the COVID-19 pandemic
there will be certain restrictions that we have to consider as we prepare for the coming
year. Preliminary recommendations from the Diocese of Victoria say it will be necessary to
maintain social distancing during the Faith formation process. That means we may have to
limit the amount of students we can take in each classroom due to available space.
Maintaining social distancing is possible with the current registration numbers.
We will have to assess any additional students who register after June 30. At this point we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to accommodate every late registration due to the
social distancing restrictions. We encourage you to register during this late registration
period. Further assessment will be made at the end of July on how we will conduct
Religious Education during the Fall.
If we have to add additional classes to maintain social distancing we will need additional
teachers and aides. It is my expectation that those parents registering late would be
willing to assist with the extra demand for personnel. It’s difficult for me to ask our
current Catechists to take on additional responsibilities. As you know, I deeply appreciate
all those who help with religious education.
