(MSFF) Attendance Policy

At Good Shepherd we strive to create an environment to INSPIRE participation in the Confirmation process. Our comprehensive curriculum involves careful planning and preparation by the MSFF Team and we rely upon the active participation of students and parents. We can then confidently state to Father Tom that he is presenting fully-prepared students to Bishop Loverde for Confirmation. This confidence comes from attendance at all Classes and Retreats. Attendance is required and is a key element of this process.

Completion of the entire two-year MSFF Program is a prerequisite to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Students may miss up to two classes per year. When a class is missed, students and parents are required to complete a make-up assignment.

Class Make-up Options

The class sessions will not be repeated.

If for extreme circumstances a student cannot attend, contact Claudia DiRosario, 703-780-4055, msff@gs-cc.org, as soon as possible, for directions on completing one of the following make-up assignments:
