Within the context of faith, high school youth are moving from a child-like spirituality to one that will hopefully reach its pinnacle, through the work of Life Teen, into an adult faith commitment to Jesus Christ and the Catholic Community.

Our High School program meets every other Sundays from 7:00 to 8:30 pm.  Our next meeting (Alpha Youth series) is November 17, 2019!  Our program has been updated this year to incorporate high school teen leadership, sharing deep thoughts on life while sharing a meal together, building/strenthening our youth  community, and fun group events (chosen by the teens). We also encourage the teens to attend the 6:00pm Mass on Sunday night before the meeting (if this can fit into the family's plan). We will continue great things like our FAST for social action as well as other community events.

RECENT EVENTS

High school group had a great time at AG Paintball in Weare... looking forward to hearing the stories from the teens and Fr Rob about their plays.

Our vision is to see all our students take more responsibility for their ongoing Faith Formation as it will better prepare them to be active young adults in our Catholic community. Community Events, Retreats and Service Projects are offered year round, so please take advantage of them, especailly the Summer ones when students are less involved in other activities. To see these upcoming events, go to the youth ministry page.

In High School, we ask all of our students to assist at least once a year in at our 6 PM Mass as Lectors or Hospitality.  For those who are active altar servers, lectors or hospitality ministers who serve throughout the year, you do not have to sign up.

When signing up, either choose to be a Lector or Hospitality.
When serving, please arrive by 5:30 pm on that Sunday evening, dressed in your Sunday best.  

What is
       Hospitality - 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
        Lector - Proclaim one of the readings - Must prepare ahead of time!  

 

The success of our Faith Formation programs relies heavily on the volunteerism of our confirmed SJN Parishioners. Please consider sharing one of your most valuable assets with our children…your TIME! There are many ways to get involved within the High School Program, whether it is working directly with the students or helping in the background! 

We are looking for people to help in a number of different ways, but especially as a Core Team Member, Environment Setup, Food Preparation, and chaperones/drivers for various events throughout the year.  If you are interested or have questions, please contact Cheri'! 

Adult Core Team members are volunteers for our Alpha & Life Teen program. Core team members will attend sessions meeting on Sunday evenings from 7:00-8:30 pm, twice a month.  They will help facilitate small group discussions as well as other activities that may be part of the night.  Core team members will also meet for regular planning sessions with other core team members.
