High School Religious Education

Mentoring and Inspiring Teens

High school classes are taught by volunteer catechists, who are witnesses to our Catholic faith. These catechists model our Catholic faith, are in good standing with the Catholic Church, and have passed the Safeguarding God’s Children requirements.

Our ninth graders will be engaging in youth discipleship small groups as well as deepening their understanding of why they are Catholic and how we live out our Catholic faith.

Our tenth graders will be engaging in pre-Confirmation classes and our eleventh graders will be engaging in preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Additionally, Father Miniatt and guest speakers will teach during some classes. There will also be at least one retreat led by SPIRITUS MINISTRIES (or another similar organization). There will be an opportunity for youth nights to help them grow as a faith community. These nights might include service projects, mini-bible studies, witness talks, games and activities, youth group discussions.

Presently, we are looking for volunteer catechist/mentors, who are confident in their Catholic faith, to help grow youth disciples! Please pray and consider leading these teenagers on a deeper journey to the way, the truth and the life of Jesus!
