That's the way it was for our parish, too. The first time we met most of the parish-school students was when we got together for the Confirmation ceremony.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Damnit, people. CCD stands for Charge Coupled Device. Please stop confusing me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
except for the electricity-stealing nuns, but considering what they usually have to live on, I wouldn't be surprised if they just viewed it as a gift from God
I didn't begrudge them the electricity at all. Three women sharing a one bedroom apartment exactly like the one I had to myself who managed to always be cheerful and never seemed to make any noise - best neighbors I've ever had. YNunMV

I think CCD was for the kids who were in the parish but weren't going to the Catholic school. I don't remember having to go, because we had a Religion class.
That's what ours was like, and they got to use our classrooms, so things were always a little Not Right on Monday mornings, and if anything was missing (presumed stolen), we blamed the CCD kids.

That's how it worked for us. My parish didn't have a school attached, but some of the kids went to Catholic schools in other parishes and they were exempt.
I have to keep using the TLA, I don't remember what it stands for. One of the Cs must be Catholic, and the D is maybe Doctrine, but that's as far as I get.

Interesting. That makes sense, because my parish didn't have a Catholic school, but the other Catholic parish in town did.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I keep reading CCD as OCD and thinking, "They have classes for that now?"

CCD = Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. How's THAT for a mouthful?

Heh. Well Lord knows I can go to Catholic mass and still recite just about all the responses/movements without even having to think about them, so not that far off.

I saw the link to this on another site and was reminded of how much I want to marry just about all of those BMW Clive Owen films (which randomly reminded me that Colin's GF will be the equivalent for...Mini Cooper, I think). And Clive's chipper demeanour in this one is exactly what I strive for when I'm given bad directions I can't change. I just wish the entire process could turn out that satisfying.
