Faith Formation Discipline and Safety Policy

Please review the class rules with your child and support the catechists and administration in enforcing the rules. It is our goal to always provide a safe environment for all students attending the Faith Formation Program. The clergy, staff, and Faith Formation volunteers of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church strive to create a program wherein children and their families feel welcome, accepted and as a vital part of our community.
