Pope Francis, Third World Day of the Poor Message
Instruction:
12 sessions per year
(6 weekly dates in October/November and 6 in February/March)
Attendance Policy:
The Prayer and Service component are completed by attending
Youth Ministry and Parish led activities. H.O.P.E Reflection forms must be submitted after both the Fall and Spring Instruction sessions.
The Instruction component has a floating day policy. That means if you can not make class on your normally scheduled day you may attend another class that week. By offering the floating day policy attendance at all instruction sessions is required. For extenuating circumstances make-up work may be completed.
Make-up work must be completed prior to end of the Fall and Spring semesters.
