A Note on Offerings and Schedules
Registration is rolling: how quickly you fill out registration will not give your child priority or preference for specific CGS time slots. However, please note that if you complete registration after August 10th, CGS sessions may be limited, as we will have begun making placements by that time.
When selecting placements for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, we will ask you to arrange the available sessions from most preferred to least preferred. We will do our utmost to honor first preferences in a way that works for all families and their needs, but we cannot guarantee placement in your first choice of session.
We ask everyone to understand that we have over 300 children in our parish who are eligible for YFF. Our families have extremely varied schooling situations and schedules, and our students are enrolled in many sports and extracurricular activities. YFF also operates on over 50 volunteers to lead formation, each with their own preferences and schedules. Every year we seek to provide a better experience for the families we serve, and we do all we can to balance the many schedules and preferences with our limited facilities and space.
