Yes. All children in grades K-12 enrolled in parish faith formation must attend four GRACE events per program year. Failure to participate may delay reception of sacraments.
Adult participation in GRACE events can be used for Time, Talent, and Treasure requirements necessary to receive the discounted stewardship tuition rate at Catholic Schools.
All Catholic school students are welcomed and encouraged to participate in GRACE but it is not mandatory.

No. A benefit of this program is to connect children to their parish, to help them feel that this is their church family. While certainly other parishes offer valuable and often similar programs, we are trying to develop strong roots to our faith community.
