Give your name, the name (-s) of the children to be enrolled and the registration will be listed and reserved only until August 7-11. We will only register those who call. We ask that parents respect the finality of registrations since there are many opportunities to come or to call.
Annual Registration fees: Fees are payable at registration – $125 for first child, $100 for second, $75 for third, no fees for fourth or more. There is no sacramental fee. Payments accepted in cash ONLY.
***Note: If you are not formally enrolled as a Parishioner of St. Patrick Church; that is, your family information is not recorded in the Parish database, no CCD registrations will be accepted until you are enrolled with the Parish. If your child was baptized at St. Patrick Parish that does not necessarily mean that your family is registered. Please contact our Parish Secretary, Mirta Frias (ext. 123) to check your enrollment status.
***Children must be at least 8 years old going into 3rd grade. Children who have recently arrived in the United States must be enrolled and acclimated in a public school for at least one year before they are accepted into the program.
***Parents of first-year students must register for the first of the four courses (the Creed) offered by Sister Mimi (ext.141). Parents with children who will receive sacraments, (First Holy Communion or Confirmation), are obliged to attend the course called Sacraments. It is recommended that parents attend all four courses during the year.
