Religious Education
Welcome to the St. Gregory the Great Religious Education (CCD) Program
Your children are precious gifts from God, and it is our joy to assist you in teaching the truth of our beautiful Catholic faith. When Pope Benedict XVI visited the United States in 2008, he clearly presented the mission of authentic Catholic Education, and we fully agree with the Holy Father that:
“Teachers and administrators, whether in universities or schools, have the duty and privilege to ensure that students receive instruction in Catholic doctrine and practice. This requires that public witness to the way of Christ, as found in the Gospel and upheld by the Church’s Magisterium, shapes all aspects of an institution’s life, both inside and outside the classroom.”
