Faith Formation/Youth Ministry              
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attendance Requirements

Parents must call the Faith Formation Office (355-4193) when their child must miss a class. A note should be brought into the class when the child returns, stating why he or she was absent. If classes are missed, the student must get the assignment from his or her catechist, and make the assignment up. Students should not miss more than two (2) classes per year.

If a situation occurs in which a student must miss several classes, he or she can be temporarily placed on the Home School list. Please call the Office and let us know if attending class will be a problem. Parents must place their child on the Home School list in the Faith Formation Office. The parent would then follow the text book material at home with their child for as long as they feel is necessary. Repeated, unexcused absences will result in a student repeating the grade or in having parents Home School that grade over the Summer.

Please request a copy of the guidelines for St. Gabriel’s Home School Program if your child is unable to attend Faith Formation classes.

Children must be in the Faith Formation Program for two (2) years before they may receive the sacraments of First Reconciliation and First Eucharist. Please contact the faith formation Office (355-4193) if your older children have not been baptized.

In order to play CYO basketball this year, students must have been registered in the parish by January of the previous year.

May God bless us as we grow in faith, together.
