Confirmation Formation is a year and a half program, which begins in 8th grade with the Sacrament of Confirmation celebrated in the Fall of the second year. There will be approximately 14 meetings per year held on Sunday afternoons, one all day Saturday retreat for Year 1, an overnight retreat for Year 2 and 2-3 service projects per year scheduled on various dates and times.
Our resource for Confirmation Formation is an exciting and dynamic program called Chosen:Your Journey Toward Confirmation by Ascension Press. It is our hope that Chosen will not only offer teens a thorough knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Faith, but will also win over their hearts at this critical time in their lives. The program has been carefully designed to address and answer teens’ fundamental questions about life, and to challenge them to embrace a life of faith.
~Parent Sacramental Year Retreat – This one day retreat called ”God Is! A One Day Journey Closer to God,” is presented by Evangelize All Ministries. One parent is expected to attend during one of their student’s Sacramental Formation years, though both are encouraged to participate. Please contact the Youth Ministry Office for more information.
Keeping teens involved in parish activities, ministries, service projects, praise and worship and Mass is crucial for their spiritual growth and development. Edge (MS) meets on Thursday nights (Sept-May) from 6:30-8pm. LifeTeen (HS) meets on Sunday nights (Sept-May) from 6:30-8pm. Text IGNITE16 or SPARK16 to 84483.
