We have another great year planned for High School Faith Formation and Confirmation Preparation. See the highlights below!
New format, new times and days
We are implementing a new format for High School Faith Formation for 2024/2025 school year, comprised of small groups of students combined with a new curriculum, and three optional days and times in hopes to create greater engagement and involvement. In essence all high school students will be able to choose from three options. However, we ask that once you register for your desired time slot, you stick with that slot as it will help build the togetherness and cohesiveness among the group. Groups will meet in the 2nd and 4th weeks of each month for 90 minutes. The following are the three options to choose from:
Sundays: 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. for the early risers who prefer to complete Faith Formation on Sundays
Mondays: 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. for those whose Monday nights are free and/or those who’ve typically participated in the Monday night small groups
Wednesdays, 6:45 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. for those whose Wednesday nights are free and prefer a mid-week option

Small Groups
Because youth ministry small groups have been proven so effective, we wanted to apply this concept to our high school Faith Formation program so that more students can benefit from the format. We ask that all students sign up for one of the options listed above. Our faith formation team is ready! We will split up the teachers and assign a team to each of the three days.
Curriculum:
Our students are faced with so many lies in the culture; they are swimming in these lies! So, to address the ongoing culture, we are happy to introduce a new curriculum for the high school program, “YOU. Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body.” Often, a good, truthful message doesn’t resonate because it doesn’t speak the language of the culture. This program really speaks to teens of 2024. It also has done a marvelous job at addressing so many of your concerns as parents. There are parent resources, fact sheets, Q&As that will help the students engage on these important topics. Our faith formation team will be prepared to foster meaningful discussions with your students. Contact Jenny Kinzler for more information: jkinzler@saint-anne.org. Watch the trailer below.
