Dear CYO Families,

Before the start of each season—including the Fall season and every subsequent 8-12-week sports season—the St. Rose CYO program proactively contacts the St. Rose Faith Formation program to identify potential scheduling conflicts. We prioritize our scheduling to enable families to attend age-appropriate Mass, with older children attending the 5:15 PM Sunday Mass and younger children attending the 10:00 AM Mass or one of the other three masses offered.

For sports requiring coordination with community facilities, such as swimming and track, we provide schedules in advance so families can plan accordingly and can attend one of the four other masses offered. While swim and track meets can be lengthy due to venue and participant availability (often limited to weekends), we ensure that practices are kept to a maximum of 90 minutes, allowing families ample opportunity to fulfill their Mass obligations.

If scheduling conflicts arise due to unforeseen changes in either St. Rose Faith Formation or St.Rose CYO sport schedules, we consistently emphasize that attending Faith Formation takes precedence and assure families that their child’s standing on the team will not be impacted by their commitment to religious education.

CYO of Long Island (CYOLI) also supports any religious events and will work with each parish to reschedule and blackout dates that conflict with Faith Formation.
