The object of catechesis is communion with Jesus Christ. Catechesis leads people to enter the mystery of Christ, to encounter Him, and to discover themselves and the meaning of their lives in Him." (NDC)

The faith formation (CCD) programs for family and children of the Vineland Catholic Collaborative consists of the following options

Family Catechetical Gatherings
This program puts the whole family at the center of the catechetical experience. As the family is the Domestic Church - therefore it is beneficial to bring the whole family into an encounter with Christ in order to grow together in relationship with Him. This program meets once monthly for Catechetical review. all Families within the program are encouraged to participate as part of their overall Faith Formation. Gatherings are one evening per month from 6:15pm - 8pm at one of the parish halls - St. Isidore Hall, Sacred Heart Hall, Muro Hall and Rosary Hall.  

Weekly Fall-Spring Faith Formation for Children (aka CCD for levels 1-8)
This program is the typical faith formation program offered to families with children who do not have the benefit of integrating their Christian faith in their formal education experience. This program meets once weekly for 1.25 hours from September to May. (Tuesdays: 6:15pm-7:30pm at Bishop Schad Regional Catholic School) This program is also offered virtually with 2 scheduled meets per month and monthly family gathering events.

Summer Intensive Program (8 to 10 Days of formation from end June into July)
8-10 days from the end of June into the beginning of July.  Finalized scheduled is decided after snow season ends. 

Intermediate Faith Formation and Family Catechesis
This program is offered to families and children seeking formation in the faith in order to complete their Sacraments of Initiation. This is specifically for children who did not start formation within the typical format. This program is offered weekly Fall-Spring on Sundays from 9:45am to 11am at Divine Mercy Parish school bldg (Compass Academy) at 23 W Chestnut Ave.

Adaptive Faith Formation for children with specialized needs
This program is designed to assist children with specific learning disciplines to also grow in their faith in a manner that best suits their learning style. This program is offered bi-weekly on Tuesdays at the VCC Center from 5-5:45pm, or in smaller increment depending on each individual child's need.
