8th Grade Faith Formation Missed Session Make up Procedures

We hope that the students make most of the classes but if occasionally they miss a class...
​

Our expectation of the 7th and 8th grade students is that when they miss a session that they will make up the session at home.  We hope doing this will ensure the students have a solid foundation of knowledge about their Catholic faith and identity before they begin their journey in 9th grade towards the Sacrament of Confirmation.

  • arrange with their Catechist to borrow a classroom book

Find the correct session and share with your student. We encourage you to read and discuss the session at home with your child. The books are excellent.
