 St. Ann CCD Teachers and Families,

As we get ready to celebrate Easter, let’s remember those from our parish who are homebound or in our community nursing homes. Each class is asked to participate in spreading Easter blessings by making Easter cards, which will be distributed across the community at the beginning of April.

Supplies will be left in all classrooms March 7 so students can create in class, or as a home CCD project. Completed cards should be dropped off in the marked baskets inside the entrances of the church on or before March 28. Click here for Flyer.

Have fun, and thank you for spreading the love of God with your creations!

THANK YOU for participating in the Souper Bowl of Caring. St. Matthias Parish collected $2,311.28, which went to the Good Neighbors Lunches at St. Ann, North Cumberland Township Food Pantry in Carmichaels and St. Anthony’s Bread food vouchers at St. Hugh.

Thank you to all of the CCD students who made Happy St. Valenine's Day cards to those from our parish who are homebound or in our community nursing homes and spreading the love of God!

We are so excited to be teaching a program called Decision Point, because it is a fantastic video based program that you and your teen can do online.  This is so beneficial because you can be involved in teaching your teen! You can review the lessons with them anytime and anywhere.  Especially if your teen misses a class you can  go to www.dynamiccatholic.com and watch (it’s free)!  I promise that both you and your teen will love these videos by Matthew Kelly- a great story teller and dynamic speaker!  Everything he talks about applies to adults as well as teens.  It is so current and meaningful no matter where you are at in your faith journey.  Plus the video segments are short....less than ten minutes each....I hope you love them as much as we do! 
 
In addition, each student will have their own textbook to take home each week.  So if they can’t get online to watch the videos, they can read it in their textbook and complete all the activities and journaling.  We thought it was important  that they get to keep their textbooks because it is something they can continue to use and go back to for years to come. Therefore, it is their responsibility to remember to bring their textbook to each class...please get them to class on time so they don’t miss out on any of the activities or videos.
