Check out these three ways your family can engage in your faith this year: Elementary Faith Formation Classes Grades 1-5 Public & Catholic School Students Faith Formation classes are held every Wednesday from 6:15-7:30 pm in the school. Elementary Faith Formation focuses on involving parents as the primary catechists of their children by including multiple family nights, family Masses, as well as family Adoration and Reconciliation nights. Faith Formation classes will teach the basics of the Faith and provide opportunities for kids to encounter Jesus at Church and at home. Middle School Youth Ministry Grades 6-8 Public & Catholic School Students This relational ministry will focus on encountering Christ through fun, faith filled activities and discussion. Middle School Youth Ministry will meet every Wednesday from 6:15-7:30 pm in Kearn Hall and the Youth Room. This ministry focuses on empowering teens to start claiming their faith as their own and growing in a community of Catholic peers. High School Youth Ministry Grades 9-12 Public & Catholic School Students Teens in high school are incredibly busy, so there are two options for High School Youth Ministry. Each offering is a small group that will promote open discussion more than lecture-style learning, as well as a lot of fun and games too. On Wednesdays from 6:15-7:30 in the Faith Formation Room, there will be Youth Ministry focused on discussing who Christ is, and is great for teens who are still questioning their Faith. On Sundays from 7:00-8:15 pm in the Youth Room, there will be Youth Ministry focused on deepening your Faith life through a discussion of the Gospels. Students can sign up for whichever group they feel would be best for them. All programs start at the end of September. Watch out for signup info in August! A word from our Faith Formation Staff:
I saw that our current program wasn’t reaching a lot of our youth. I wanted to listen to what teens today want, how they learn, and what is important to them. Youth Ministry is more than learning, it’s a relational ministry designed to draw teens into a deeper relationship with Christ.” -Emily Gignac, Director of Faith Formation “Change is seldom easy, but the traditional way of teaching is not necessarily the best way to spread God's Word. Family Faith Formation should confirm, strengthen, and expand the faithful dynamic within a strong Catholic family. With support and involvement throughout our parish, all will benefit from our new program. We are encouraged and excited to travel this journey with Christ on a more personal level, while continuing to share instruction and guidance of our Catholic Faith." -Julie Testin, Coordinator of Faith Formation
