What is CCD?
The Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) refers to a religious education program of the Roman Catholic Church, designed for children. In some churches parishes, CCD is called "PSR," which stands for "Parish School of Religion,” or simply “Religious Ecucation.”

What is Catechesis?
Catechesis refers to the education of children, young people, and adults in the faith of the Church through the teaching of Christian doctrine. This is best done in an organic and systematic way, so that as people learn, they become true disciples of Jesus Christ. Those who perform the ministry of catechesis in the Church are called “catechists” (CCC Index). So, catechesis is all about handing on the faith, becoming disciples, and building up the body of Christ (CCC 4-5).
