For teens in grades 7-12 we have an active, high energy, fun program which has three components; faith formation, building community, and serving. Worship weaves its way through each component. The High School program includes:
- Faith Formation Programs for Grades 6, 7 & 8 -
Seekers - 6th Grade through 8th Grade Faith Formation
Seekers, our ministry for 6th through 8th graders, challenges our preteens to explore their faith through a variety of active and engaging in person activities, along with opportunities for service. We will be using Connect! Bringing Faith to Life, which is a 3-year interactive program that explores the core teachings of the Catholic faith in a way that helps them integrate their faith into their everyday lives.
Faith Formation sessions for 6th through 8th Grade meet on Wednesdays at 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm
- Faith Formation Program For Grades 9 & 10 - Faith Formation programming to help our youth in becoming fully initiated into our Catholic Faith.
