Two goals of Youth Ministry:
(1) To
foster the personal & spiritual growth of each young person. Youth ministry has two main areas of focus, the junior high (grades 6 thru 8) and high school (grades 9 thru 12). Junior High School meets every Wednesday night from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm with the first half of the session focusing on catechesis and the second half being social time for interaction and community building. High School youth group meets from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm and is similar in structure. Both groups also have outside activities on the weekends such as social activities (movie nights, youth conferences, etc.) and service activities (Christmas in April, Angel program, food pantry, etc.) CONFIRMATION PREPARATION This program consists of a two year process where candidates meet bi-monthly from September to May on Sunday afternoons (2:00-3:30) in order to prepare themselves to receive the sacrament of Confirmation. These sessions consist of material taken from the Catechism and based on the different areas of Creed, Morality, Prayer, and the Sacraments. Candidates must attend all classes, youth group, must perform service in the community, and must be sixteen at the time of Confirmation in order to participate and receive the sacrament.
