swServe with Love  

Just a reminder that your student has until May 7, to enter 18 Parish/Church hours and 12 Guerin Catholic/Community hours into Campus Ministry's database. Failure to accomplish this will result in your student being pulled from all extra-curricular activities and sports teams until they have finished the requirements. 

In addition, Seniors who have not finished 30 hours for each year they have been a student at Guerin Catholic will not be eligible to graduate until they have met that requirement. For more information, you can see page 22 of the student handbook. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter! 

As a reminder, service opportunities for Guerin Catholic students can be found at http://fs2.guerincatholic.org/groups/campusministry/
