Middle / High School
Faith Formation
Faith Formation serving the parishes of St. Jude the apostle, St. Therese and St. Vincent Pallotti pareishes, provides an opportunity for Middle and High School students in grades 7th through 10th to grow in faith by developing a meaningful relationship with Jesus, a better understanding of our Catholic tradition and help to plant roots for the adult years. This program includes instruction, fellowship, prayer, service, and fun.
Our Youth Ministry program also provides opportunities for youth to engage in service, social and retreat opportunities throughout the year.
Middle School
This catechetical year, Youth in grades 7-8th will explore Encounter: The Bible Timeline for Middle School. Encounter is much more than your average Bible study program. It is a life-changing experience that speaks directly to the hearts and minds of middle school-aged kids. Students are drawn into this story, they will come to a new and profound understanding of who God is. Most importantly, they will come to know God not as a distant doctrinal concept, but as a loving Father who desires a meaningful and lasting encounter with them.
The middle school youth will also participate in a Service Project.
Grades 7-8 will meet twice a month on Sundays from 10-11am and then attend 11:00am Liturgy.
High School
The High School program provides an opportunity for youth in grades 9th and 10th to grow in faith by developing a meaningful relationship with Jesus, a better understanding of our Catholic tradition and help to plant roots for the adult years.
