For the remainder of the year, Stacy Austin will be solely responsible for the English K-6 program. This means we really need parent volunteers to assist as hall monitors and substitutes. Please consider how you can help!
Stacy (s.austin@gs-cc.org) is your POC for all questions regarding the English K-6 program; however, there will be changes to the on-site Coordinator for some sessions:
- Sunday 7:45am and 9:15am – Stacy Austin
- Sunday 5:00pm – Rosie Driscoll*
- Monday and Thursday – Stacy Austin
If you have an immediate need or emergency at the 5:00pm session, Rosie is your POC. If you have a question regarding the English K-6 program, or your child’s participation, please email Stacy Austin for a response.
Calendar - Please check the calendar on the website to confirm the upcoming class schedule! And please be reminded that we follow Fairfax County Public Schools in the event of inclement weather.
Mardi Gras - Join us Tuesday, February 13 for a last hurrah before Ash Wednesday. We will start the evening with a pancake meal provided by the Knights of Columbus followed by Mardi Gras fun. We will end the evening with ice cream and tips for having a blessed Lenten experience.
Volunteers needed for Mardi Gras. Please email Stacy, s.austin@gs-cc.org, if you or your teenager want to help! This is a great family service opportunity.
Children's Liturgy of the Word - Children in grades K-6 are invited to register for Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLW) which takes place during the 9:00 & 10:30 Mass. There is a critical need for Adult Volunteers in order that we may continue offering CLW at both Masses. Check the website to register or contact re@gs-cc.org for more information.
Shepherd’s Choir - Our children’s choir sings every 1st and 3rd Sunday at the 10:30 Mass. Email Anne Shingler, a.shingler@gs-cc.org, if your child would like to participate.
