Our program is a dynamic program made and tailored just for Middle School youth that meets on Monday nights 6:30 - 8pm (bi-weekly). As we have three grades (6-8), we follow a three year cycle – Sacred Scripture, Living as a Disciple of Christ, and th:e Communion of the Faithful. However, this year we will return to using EDGE to ensure we are addressing content at the appropriate level and keeping the youth engaged more as we learn. Therefore, Communion of the Faithful will start with in depth study of The Eucharist. Since our program is bi-weekly, the youth may have a task to complete at home with parents aimed at reinforcing what was learned and bringing the family together in a faith-filled activity.
Our program consists of:
In Middle and High School, we ask all of our students to assist at least once a year as Altar servers, Lectors or Hospitality at Mass time your family attends. If your family attends a different Mass time, you can also volunteer at that Mass time. Those who are active altar servers, lectors, or hospitality ministers who serve throughout the year, do not have to sign up.
When signing up, either choose to be an Altar server, Lector or Hospitality.
When serving, please arrive 15 minutes early dressed in your "Sunday best".
What does Hospitality do?
- Greet people as they come into the Church and hand out any worship aids
- Help with the collection and bring up the gifts
- Pass out bulletins
- Help organize the Church after Mass
What does a Lector do?
- Proclaim one of the readings
- Must prepare ahead of time!
We are looking for people to help in a number of different ways, but especially as a chaperones for various events. If you are interested or have questions, please contact Cheri'
