Youth Ministry helps middle and high-school students deepen their relationship with God and experience their faith, while being integrated into the parish family and larger community.
Confirmation preparation happens as a part of Youth Ministry - as well as so much more!
Youth Ministry includes Sunday classes, mini-courses, summer mission trips, retreats, social action and service opportunities, a post-Confirmation small Christian community led by college students, as well as additional events to build community and enjoy life in faith together.
More on our Confirmation Program
We offer students the opportunity to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation throughout grades 9-12 knowing that not everyone is ready to receive the Sacrament at the same time.
This is about YOUR relationship with God and the Church. Independent Study options for families are always available and are creatively encouraged!
• During their Freshman year of preparation, students attend 'Bagels and Basics', which covers a different topic each session and gives teens a common understanding of their mutual faith. Freshmen also attend Reconciliation, a retreat and participate in 10 hours of community service.
• When they are ready, students then choose three mini courses, attend an overnight retreat, attend 'Pizza & Theology' sessions, and put their faith into action with 20 hours of community service.
• In a final time of preparation for Confirmation, students attend a preparation retreat, a Confirmation rehearsal, Reconciliation, and a ToGether in Faith session for students and sponsors.
• Students can complete their own course of preparation, in conjunction with their families.
If you have already begun your preparation, you can log into Confirmation preparation tracking to check your progress.
In Middle School we help students make their faith their own. You can see an example of how we learn and live the faith together and with parents by checking out the most recent Faith Formation Schedules below.
