The class days are scheduled on alternating Sundays thus, we will meet alternately for class & mass every other Sunday. This will give you and your family the opportunity to attend other preferred masses every other Sunday!

Students need be on time and prepared to participate with his/her book and materials.  In case of late arrival, stop by the office before going to class.

 

CLASS SIZE

All students will be placed accordingly to the level of instruction needed. Class size will be determined by enrollment and grade level.  Students will be placed on a roster at the time of registration provided all proper documentation is submitted and tuition is paid in full. Once the class reaches its limit, the class will be closed.  (Minimum class size = 15, Maximum class size = 25)

CLASS ATTENDANCE

All students are required to complete 30 hours of class instruction in one year.  Children/youth in First Holy Communion sacramental classes will move up with their class provided all requirements for that level have been met. Any absences must be called in by the parent to the office and to your child/youth’s catechist.  Make-up work is required. More than 3 unexcused absences will result in being dropped from the program and not completing impending sacraments. 

 

MASS ATTENDANCE

All parents & students are encouraged to celebrate the 11:30am Mass. To help our families worship together on Sundays, families with more than one child in the program may choose the class to sit with at Mass and bring their other children to that class to sit together.

FIRST COMMUNION

 

Children are required to attend no less than 2 consecutive years of formation from 1st grade through High School. If the 2-year formation period. it is very important that parents be committed and involved in their child’s formation!
