Confraternity of Christian Doctrine The Confraternity of Christian Doc- trine of St. John College, under the di- rection of the Right Reverend Monsi- gnor Joseph T. Moriarty, has chosen as its main held of Catholic Action, the re- ligious instruction of Catholic children attending public schools. At present, twenty five Confraternity members are actively engaged in this work. They have given their services in a total of eighteen parishes instructing children ranging in grade level from kindergarten to the tenth grade. Sister Mary Concepta, S.N.D., the club moderator, conducted two training programs aimed at giving the members a foundation in teaching methods. The Confraternity has also attempted to build a file of Visual aids to be made available for use by the SJC girls in the classroom. Sometime in the future, St. Johns CCD hopes to branch out into other fields of Confraternity activity, but for the present is concentrating on bringing Christts doctrine to those who are de- prived 0f the privilege of receiving a complete Catholic education. New members were received into the Confraternity by the Very Reverend Monsignor Richard E. McHale, the Di- ocesan Director of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.
