Elementary and Middle School
“There are two powerful influences on the planet-
the church and the home.
They both exist because God initiated them.
They both exist because God desires to use them to demonstrate
His plan of redemption and restoration.
If they work together they can potentially make a greater impact than if they work alone.
They need each other.
Too much is at stake for either one to fail.
Their primary task is to build God’s Kingdom in the hearts of
men and women, sons and daughters.”

(from THINK ORANGE IMAGINE THE IMPACT WHEN CHURCH AND FAMILY COLLIDE by Reggie Joiner)

And so our parish embraces more fully the family approach to Faith Formation…
Church and family partnering together to learn, grow, and serve together so as to make disciples to further establish God’s Kingdom.

Families with youth in grades 1-8 come together monthly to engage in a faith formation experience designed for families:
- typically beginning with a focusing activity on the monthly topic,
- then breaking into age-level small groups and then
- coming back together in a large group to tie it all together and
- to receive a “spiritual exercise” to practice living the lesson as a family.
- Each session either begins or end with a parish Mass.
Restored Order of the Sacraments of Initiation
Our diocese is in the process of restoring the sacrament of Confirmation to its original place in
the initiation sequence: Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist.

In celebrating Confirmation later, it may appear that Confirmation was the “crowning sacrament”, when, in actuality, the “crowning sacrament” is the Eucharist. Baptism and Confirmation prepare us for the Eucharist. By Baptism we have been given access to the family of the People of God. In Confirmation we have been sealed in that relationship. Now, we have the right to sit at the “family table” and share in the Body and Blood of Jesus. The new practice will be First Reconciliation in grade 2 and in grade 3, Confirmation and Eucharist will be celebrated within the same Liturgy.

Beginning this year we transition to this restored order.
Youth in grades 3, and 7 on up will be prepared for Confirmation to be celebrated in the Spring of 2019.

Grades 3 on up will be prepared for Confirmation to be celebrated in the Spring of 2020.
High School

Jesus left us a mission: Go and make disciples!

We seek to offer a high school ministry, focused on making disciples... we've a couple options:

To create a foundation from which to build as one discerns what it means to say “Yes” to discipleship, the summer option is not so much about learning ABOUT Jesus, but meeting Him in a very personal and direct way through an adapted version of St Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises, incorporating Scripture, meditation, discussion and a daily Examen.

God wants to be a part of our lives and for us to know Him. Our weekly Youth Ministry will ignite our faith and help us to be passionate witnesses of Jesus.

Teen Encounter is a Catholic Christian weekend experience based on what it means to be a teenage Catholic Christian living in a world that is often in darkness and ignorant of Jesus, the true light of the world. It is a dynamic living experience with a variety of Christian learning activities in sharings, teachings, discussion, songs, games, prayer, and Sacraments. Many talks are given by teenagers themselves on everyday Christianity.
