[quote=Anonymous]I'm in one of the inner suburbs of Northern Virginia at an Alexandria church. My kids go to religious education every week and our parish still calls in CCD. I grew up calling it PSR (parish school of religion). But both in DC and Northern VA diocese, they have called it CCD. Our religious education is on Sundays so it sometimes conflicts with my children's travel soccer. Yes, I am devout. But I also don't want my kids to be turned off by religion. When you were in your teens and elementary, did you want to go to mass or soccer? We always go to mass, even when we travel out of town or abroad. I am active in our parish ministries and volunteer at a local Catholic organization in our neighborhood. My son is an altar server and my daughter would love to be one but we only have male servers. Both of my kids are in choir and I am a lector and Eucharistic minister. My husband volunteers on the parish finance community. Thanks for the information that was helpful. I don't need to be political at mass. But I want a church that is reflective of social justice values and shows my children how to live our Catholic values. I'm looking at Holy Trinity in Georgetown and Our Lady Queen of Peace in Arlington. I want my kids to be involved in parish life and CCD and it sounds like the one at Our Lady Queen of Peace is overcrowded with out of bounds parishioners. Part of me wants to stay at my in-bounds church. We definitely don't have an overenrolled religious education program! My husband is going through RCIA and will be confirmed and receive Eucharist this Easter. [/quote]
