Starting in September 2024, we will have one program for high schoolers and candidates to Confirmation. We will meet weekly on Friday evenings 7:30-9PM. We'll do lots of various activities from fun and relaxed BBQs or hikes to service projects, teachings of the Faith with Youcat, addressing high schoolers questions and struggles, having guest speakers on topics like being a leader today, drugs and other substance abuse, stress in high school, etc.
As the year goes on, each student will be able to ask for Confirmation if they feel ready and are willing to receive this important Sacrament. It will be given to them in the spring based on their readiness, maturity in faith and motivation.
The high school group intends to give them a comfortable space where they can be true and authentic, share their struggles and receive answers to their questions related to God, the Catholic faith and many current issues.
The program is led by a core team of high school leaders and young adults, the Youth Coordinator and the Faith Formation Director.
"Let me just share with you how passionate this team of leaders is! we can't wait to have many high schoolers join us this fall." - Florence

"By the sacrament of Confirmation, the baptized are more perfectly bound to the Church, and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." - Catechism of the Catholic Church 1285.
