Summer School Policy
We are excited to provide our Ignite the Fire experience for your son or daughter. Through our unique 5-day confirmation retreat, we provide catechesis, mass, formation, preparation, reconciliation, community building and service. Therefore, it is important that each of our students attend all five days of the retreat (Wednesday through Sunday) in order to be fully prepared to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. We have made an exception only for those arriving late due to academic advancement. This policy allows teens enrolled in Summer School to arrive at Holy Cross College no later than 3 PM on Wednesday (the first day of the retreat) in order to meet the catechetical requirement for Confirmation. Contact the Faith Formation Office at (317) 846-3878 as soon as possible if this situation pertains to you.
