Return to In-Person Classes

Dear Faithbook friends and families,

The past two years have put all of us in strenuous situations, and we thank all the Faithbook students, parents and teachers for persevering under the difficult circumstances.

With various covid restrictions being eased, and the Diocese of San Jose Diocese lifting the dispensation of the Sunday obligations, Faithbook will resume in-person classes starting on March 27 (Sunday).

• Classes will start at 10:50am each Sunday at HKMCC

  • Kindergarten and 1st grade classes will end at 11:20am

  • 2nd~6th grade classes will end at 11:35am

• Safety of our students and volunteers is our top priority.  Students and volunteers must submit either a proof of vaccination or Covid negative test result.

  • If you are fully vaccinated (at least two weeks after receiving the 2nd shot of a two doses vaccine or the single shot of a single dose vaccine), then please upload your proof of vaccination HERE by March 20.

  • Otherwise, you must bring a proof of a negative Covid test result to class on each Sunday (test result within 48 hours of the class).  At-home Covid test kit results are accepted.

  • Please see this page by the HKMCC Youth and Young Adult Ministry for further details

• All students and volunteers are required to wear a mask at all times while in class

• Snacks will be provided, but students will not be allowed to eat them while in the classroom.  Rather, students should take the snacks back home.

Further details will be provided prior to the return-to-in-person classes.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions.
