For teens in grades 9-12 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:
Discipleship Training is a two-year Confirmation preparation Process at St. Joseph of the Lakes, which Candidates can begin in 9th grade.
Year 1 Discipleship Training: may begin as early as 9th grade with young people who have participated in Faith Formation or attended Catholic School. Year1 Discipleship Training will follow the Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation, presented by Ascension Press. The goal of the program is to provide a powerful, life-changing experience as the Candidate prepares to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, through knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Faith, as well as addressing and answering questions about life and to challenge him or her to embrace a life of faith.
Year 2 Discipleship Training: Year 2Discipleship Training will follow the Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation, presented by Ascension Press. The goal of the program is to provide a powerful, life-changing experience as the Candidate prepares to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation, through knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Faith, as well as addressing and answering questions about life and to challenge him or her to embrace a life of faith.
