2015-2016 CCD -Welcome Packet

For Parents with children attending CCD classes at Shelton Academy

Dear Parents

We are very happy to have you and your children in our Parish this catechetical year 2015-2016.

Our Program has been designed to help your child to come to Know and Love Jesus more every day.

Without your help and support our efforts would be in vain. YOU are the first and best catechist. God has given you a great privilege A CHILD but you also have the greatest obligation of showing your child the way they need to walk in this life. We encourage you to work with us so your children may be filled with the unconditional and merciful love of Jesus.

May God bless you and Our Lady of Guadalupe help you in this wonderful task of bringing Jesus Christ to the hearts of your children.

If you have any questions or suggestions please e-mail us at
