There will be bus service for SAS, UWC, AIS. For TTS, OFS and other schools, please check the BUS TRANSPORT section of the church/CCD website www.stignatius.org.sg – Ministries/Faith Formation/ Catechetical Ministries/CCD to see if there is a coordinator.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR PARENTS
ALL CLASSES ARE CONDUCTED ONLINE for now.

The CCD Ministry is also actively recruiting parents to join our team of catechists for the next term. We will help train parents to conduct the online sessions and will provide access to digital and analogue resources for lessons.

Since CCD is entirely run by volunteers, our classes are contingent on the availability of catechists. We seek parents’ understanding that if should we be unable to recruit catechists, we may have to cancel some classes.
If you can help, please complete the 'Volunteer Form'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Info below applicable only when FACE to FACE classes resume at church grounds:

Important note! The children enjoy the 10 minutes of snack-time from 4 - 4:10pm. After a long day at school, they look forward to arriving at the canteen and seeing their snack laid out on their class table. When one class table does not have a snack provided, the teacher and students of that class are quite disappointed. As part of your child's enrollment, you will be responsible to provide a snack for their entire class at least 2 times during the year. A snack roster will be sent out at the beginning of the term. Thank you for your kind contribution!

The CCD Ministry needs parents to teach and pass on their love of the Catholic faith. Our parish does not have staff to teach this Catechism program. The CCD classes happen only because of our parent volunteers who generously give their time as teachers, class assistants, snack coordinators, and office helpers.
If you can help, please complete the 'Volunteer Form'.
I am able to help out as a VOLUNTEER *. Yes No
