STUDENT PARTICIPATION POLICY

In 2013, we began to require students to continue their religious education each year, and not just pursue studies when they have a Sacrament to receive.

The goal of the policy is to increase our children’s knowledge of their faith. Each year Faith Formation builds on the year before and we have discovered gaps in what our students know about Catholicism. The new policy will help to fill in those gaps.

In addition, the policy will seek to assist our children in building both Catholic identity and community with their peers here at Church.

We thank you for your cooperation with this policy. If remedial work is needed for students to catch-up, we will work with families to tailor a plan of action for that.

STUDENT MASS ATTENDANCE

During the school year, Student Mass Attendance is tracked. There are small cards right outside of the sanctuary for students to fill out and place in the collection basket during Mass. If you are traveling, email a picture of the bulletin where your child does attend to tcornelius@stpaulcc.org. 

PARENT AND CATECHIST REQUIREMENTS

At least one parent per family is required to volunteer in some capacity. We could not successfully run our programs without you! To keep our children safe, the Diocese of Charlotte has several volunteer requirements, to include completing the CMG Connect, Safe Harbor Course and a volunteer background check. Registration for this course and the background check can be completed at the quick link below.
