CCD (or PSR) in Bay Ridge – First Holy Communion

first communion may 2016
 

When we went to school, public school students attended CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine) classes on Wednesday afternoon and we got out early. 

Now some churches call CCD -> PSR (Parish School of Religion) – that’s probably why you couldn’t find it online.

Steps:

  1. First pick a parish. You can pick where you want to go and that can be your parish. I know you thought about St. Andrews, but check out St. Pats. 
  2. You bring the child’s baptismal certificate to the rector, fill out the paperwork and pay the registration fee. If your child went to class at another school and you are transferring, bring transfer papers (you get them from the PSR office at the other school. 
  3. Kindergarten is optional, but you need to go by first grade in order to make Holy Communion in 2nd grade. If not, then your child has to make Holy Communion in 3rd grade.
