Parent Experience

At Cardinal Gibbons High School, our Catholic faith is the foundation for the formation of our Parent Community.

Every parent has an opportunity to attend Mass and to participate in Faith Formation Series throughout the year. 

For more information or to register for the next Faith Formation Series, please see the Parent Faith Formation home page.

At this time we are unable to serve our surrounding community alongside fellow grade level parents, however, many of our partner organizations have opportunities.  Please visit their links below to see how you and your family may be able to serve those in need.
