CCD is a fancy abbreviation for catechism or Sunday school

Roman Catholic AnswerCCD stands for Confraternity of Christian Doctrine, an older set of instructions that were commonly used in the United States for catechizing youth in the faith. Like the word "kleenex" (which it a brand name and came to be used for any tissue) it came to be used as a generic term for what is now commonly called "faith formation" or what some protestants call "Sunday School".

It stands for Confraternity of Chrsitian Doctine, which implemented a uniform religious education program about 50 years ago. Our programs were changed simple to "religious education" program awhile back, but CCD was so ingrained that the CCD tag stuck, even though now obsolete.

Confraternity of Christian Doctrine - from 1562 to about 1960 was responsible for religious education in most parishes around the world. Now, it holds the copyright for the New American Bible.

Contemporary religious education or Sunday school in many Catholic parishes in the U.S. is still called "CCD" even though it no longer has any connection to the Confraternity.

What days does CCD in the Catholic church take place?

This depends purely upon when the Director of Religious Education schedules it. There are no religious requirements dictating when CCD should be held. For the purposes of convenience, most CCD classes are scheduled on Sundays, after the Mass. However, if a child was to attend a Catholic school, their CCD would be taught in the Religion class daily, allowing them the choice not to attend CCD when their parish schedules it.
