Confraternity of Christian Doctrine

The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) is a Catholic lay organization dedicated to teaching and promoting Catholic beliefs, morals, and sacraments. Its primary focus is to provide religious education for children, especially those preparing for Confirmation and First Communion, often through religious classes associated with parishes or dioceses. CCD encourages adults and families to deepen their faith and understanding of Catholic teachings, fostering a community committed to living out the Gospel. Essentially, it serves as a structured way for Catholics of all ages to learn, grow spiritually, and actively participate in their faith community.
