Our middle school Program is offered to current 6th, 7th and 8th Graders and serves as a transition from the K-5 Religious Education Program to the
faith-formation program they will follow as participants in the Senior High School Youth Ministry. The students learn about our Christian and Catholic traditions, as well as focus more deeply on what it means to have a relationship with God and the Church, and how to deepen those relationships, in a relaxed environment.

The Program is divided into four 4-week sessions, with each session focusing on a different topic.  Classes meet on Mondays from 4:30-6:00pm in the church, beginning in September and ending in April.  After an initial ice-breaking activity/game, the afternoon is usually spent in small groups.  

As well as the four 4-week sessions, the students meet at various times throughout the year for fun activities such as parties, trips, service opportunities, and our 8th Grade lock-in. 

Invitation to All:  And let's not forget…our Youth Ministry is not just for youth! Our adult leaders (catechists) receive some of the best skill building, personal support, and spiritual formation available. Adults serve because they love kids and love God. They also serve because they realize how much they grow themselves. Some adults assist a couple hours a week, some much more, all depending on the amount of time they can offer. Youth Ministry gives the adult leaders an opportunity to respond to God's calling in concrete ways that really make a difference. It also offers wonderful, life-giving friendships with other adults. Please consider being a part of our team.
