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 2025/2026 school year, comprised of small groups of students combined with a new curriculum, and two optional days and times in hopes to create greater engagement and involvement. In essence, all high school students will be able to choose from two 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 typically meet in the 2nd and 4th weeks of each month for 90 minutes. The following are the two 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

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 both of the days.
Curriculum:
We are thrilled to launch a new FOCUS Bible Study for our high school students in the upcoming Faith Formation year! The Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) is a vibrant national organization answering Pope Saint John Paul II’s call for a “new evangelization” by serving college students across the country. By bringing the FOCUS Bible Study into our high school program, we hope to create opportunities for students to encounter Christ through His living Word, “which is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). Through this study, your teen will not only deepen their personal relationship with Christ but also grow in fellowship with teachers and peers. Together, they’ll be equipped to “bear much fruit” and become disciple-makers themselves—empowered to “teach others also” (John 15:8, 2 Timothy 2:2). Our Catechist team is committed to inspiring and strengthening your teen in the faith, preparing them to live out the Great Commission: “Go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19)—starting now in their schools, homes, and eventually, in college and beyond.
