Important Policies
Sacramental Prep Levels: If a family does not maintain at least a 3x a month (75%). Mass Attendance for the two years leading up to the reception of the Sacrament (First Communion / Confirmation), the student would need to repeat the level and receive the Sacrament the following year when the requirement is fulfilled.
The 3-Week Rule: Attendance records will not be adjusted for any dates further back than the three previous weekends. Please update your out-of-parish attendance in a timely manner.
Accuracy: Clear communication regarding your attendance is critical for us to maintain accurate records and support your family's journey in the program.
