    Dear Parents,

    Happy Summer!  Please read below for information on VBS, RE Registration, and our new Twitter account.

    July 20th - 24th - Vacation Bible School - Spots still available!
    Spots are still available for VBS - July 20 - 24 from 9:30 - 12:30pm.  The theme this year is Nazareth: When Jesus was a Kid.  You may register to participate on-line.  Check the website for more details.  If you have any questions, please let me know (vbs@gs-cc.org).

    New Twitter Account
    Elementary Faith Formation has joined Twitter!  Please follow us @gsffk6.  This will be a great way to be updated on inclement weather, reminders of class times and events, and ideas of things you can do with your children.  Start following us for the latest class information!

    Have you registered for Religious Education yet?  *REGISTRATION CLOSES MONDAY*
    The 9:25 and 4:30 sessions are officially closed.  The 6:00 session is the only session with all grade-levels still opened.  Monday is your last day to register.  Come between 10 and 5pm ONLY. 

    Class lists will be posted no later than the weekend of August 16th in the RE Hallway.  Registration will reopen August 23rd - August 30th.  Faith Formation Team Members and Volunteers will be available in the Commons on Aug 23rd and 30th after Masses to accept registrations.  Registrations will not be accepted for closed classes/sessions. During the weekdays in between the 23rd and 30th we will accept registration Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10a-5p.  You should check the RE Bulletin Board to be sure you are not registering for a closed class. After August 30, registration forms will be accepted only for families who are new to the area. 

    Letters will go out the week of September 7th with your finalized class session and assigned class.  The RE hallway will also have this updated information.  Check the website for more information.

    Got Faith? Pass it on, and be a Catechist or Assistant Catechist!
    As this year winds down, and we begin registration for the Fall, I hope you will prayerfully consider sharing your talents as a Catechist.  We support you along the way with practical training in class management, discipline strategies, and how to make a lesson plan as well as faith building trainings.

    Join this rewarding ministry now!  Contact stacy@gs-cc.org (K-6) or rosie@gs-cc.org (middle school/high school) if you are interested or looking for more information.  If you have a passion for your faith and an eagerness to share it - you will be perfect! 

    New Website and Mobile App!
    We're happy to announce we are transitioning to a new parish website! Our goal is to provide fast, user-friendly access to parish news and information.  Plus, the new site is mobile-friendly! Check it out! 

    You can also download our new App!  Search for "Good Shepherd Alexandria" in the App store or download the link below.   Be sure to say 'Yes' to receive Push Notifications' to be informed of last-minute cancellations or changes in Parish Events and Inclement Weather notices.
