Junior High Catechesis
We invite all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders into our weekly sessions to address four areas of their development – Prayer, Community, Service, and Faith Formation. Small groups spend time integrating their faith into their everyday lives through prayer, catechesis and discussion. They are facilitated by parents and young adults who have a passionate faith and know how to create a safe environment for our youth to grow. Groups meet on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:45 pm and 7:00 pm and Tuesdays at 4:45 pm. We use Our Sunday Visitor's Call to Faith Junior High Thematic Series featuring engaging stories and explorations of relevant topics and themes, Scripture and Tradition, meaningful activities, prayer, faith at home resources, and a variety of features that inspire young adolescents to truly explore, understand, and live their faith.

Altaration - 7th Grade Supplemental series
Teens today are surrounded by distractions: music fills their ears, while tweets and posts are constantly checked and updated. They have been conditioned to fill any silent moment with noise and stimulation. Instilling an appreciation and enthusiasm for the Mass can be a challenge.
Altaration: The Mystery of the Mass Revealed is a new five week study on the Mass for teens that features powerful cinematography, inspiring presenters, and engaging workbook resources. Altaration uses humor, stories, and small group discussion to capture your teen’s attention and instill in them a deep and lasting love for the Mass. This will take place between the Jesus Christ and the Church thematic books. We also hope to have a teaching Mass at the end of the program.
