CCD: The mission of the religious education program
(CCD) at Cathedral is to assist parents of public school students in
grades 1 - 8 in the religious formation of their children. The Catholic
Church has always taught that parents are the primary educators of their
children. The religious education program provides systematic instruction to
students to supplement the teaching and example of their parents. The goal
of the program is to work cooperatively with parents to give their children
a good knowledge, understanding, and love of their faith, so they are
prepared to live a Christian life in today’s world.

Godparent Program is a four-year program for students in
grades 9-12. The primary purpose is to allow high school students to deepen,

and self through fun with teaching skills and exciting outdoor activities.

Brownie and Girl Scout Troops (grades 2 through 8) meet

projects and community programs to develop a set of values and help guide
their actions, but most importantly, to learn how to work with and support
each other and have a great time. Contact: Kathy Brandon, 402.423.4905.
Soldiers of St. Sebastian consists of seventh and eighth
graders from our school who serve at Cathedral School’s daily Masses. The
group plays a prominent role in parish liturgies such as funerals, First
Friday devotions, Stations of the Cross, Benediction, First Confession,
First Holy Communion, and the May Crowning procession. In addition, each day
after lunch, one of the young men spends his recess time in adoration of the
Blessed Sacrament. Contact: Jeremy Ekeler, 402.489.9621.
Kids for Jesus (K4J) is a program for Catholic kids that
allows them to learn in a very fun way, and to practice their faith in
common, simple ways in their daily lives. Since we learn best by doing, K4J
gives practical and simple activities that are fun for the whole family as
they learn the truths of our faith. With their registered membership they
receive Monthly Mission Packets full of games, activities, puzzles and ideas
to practice their faith. There is a special insert each month to give
parents great ideas about how they can help their children learn and live
their Catholic faith. The program is designed for children in grades 2-6.
