Mission Statement

We, the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD) have been commissioned by the Bishop of Broken Bay to bring the message of God's Kingdom to Catholic students in government schools through effective evangelisation.  We are supportive of each other and those we serve in our ministry.  We are inspired by the Holy Spirit and united in Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and at the centre of our lives and ministry.
