CCD 2025 - 2026
On May 20, St. Anthony’s held its final Faith Formation (CCD) class of the 2025–2026 school year. Nearly 40 students participated this year.
The program included two Confirmation classes—one for junior high students and one for high school students—as well as a First Communion class. Jane Sweeney and Mary Timmons instructed the Confirmation students, while Charlotte Smith led the First Communion class.
Each class session began with all students gathering in the parish hall. Sarah Kasallis led the group in song, followed by a reading of the upcoming Sunday Gospel by Linda Sheppard. Linda then guided an age-appropriate discussion to help the children understand the Gospel message before students moved to their individual classrooms.
This year’s teachers included:
Sarah Kasallis and Linda West — Kindergarten and 1st Grade
Charlotte Smith and Linda Nichols — First Communion
Linda Lugo — 4th Grade
Susan Lambert and Linda Sheppard — 5th Grade
Kim Burch — 6th and 7th Grades
Jane Sweeney — 8th Grade Confirmation
Mary Timmons — High School Confirmation
Throughout the year, students enjoyed a variety of special activities, including a Christmas party, Family Day, a King Cake celebration provided by new parishioners Max Boswell and family, an Easter celebration sponsored by the Special Events Committee, Shadow Stations of the Cross, and a Rosary Circle.
The year concluded with a celebration featuring Catholic Jeopardy, created and hosted by Mary Timmons, followed by ice cream sundaes for students and teachers.
It was a fun, faith-filled, and productive year. We thank all of our teachers, volunteers, and families for their support and look forward to welcoming even more students next year.
