Our Strategy
Students gather on Sundays for faith formation. Junior High meets from 3:30-5:00 p.m. and High School meets from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Both groups are encouraged to attend our Youth Mass at 5:15 p.m. with their families.
The format we use is that of Life Teen and EDGE. These sessions are aimed to be both fun and challenging for students to grow deeper in their faith. They are systematic catechetical gatherings with four distinct segments: Gather, Proclaim, Break, and Send:
- Gather: Involes an invitation to the students welcoming them. Usually done with either a game, skit, video clip, and praise & worship.
- Proclaim: The main teaching for the session.
- Break: Students meet with their Small Groups and break open the teaching.
- Send: To close out the session, students gather again in large group and receive the weekly challenge to live out and practice what they've learned.
