Content

We’ll be using studies from the FORMED online video series. Youth will even learn directly from our Madison Bishop Hying in a series! Youth are expected to complete the lessons, serve others, and attend Mass regularly (in person or online) as they dive deeper into the Faith and strive to live out our parish mission statement: To live as He lived, To love as He loved, To serve as He served.

Apostolic ACTIONS

Youth learn to live the faith through ACTIONS!

• Church service: usher; singer; parish festival—runners to take dinners out to vehicles; Advent Adventure; Easter Egg hunts
• Family: Helping your parents, siblings, relatives
• Local community: Community Action Thanksgiving/Christmas, MAYC, MOME
• Larger community: ECHO, Red Cross, Pregnancy Helpline, Love Begins Here

Confirmation

Sophomore year, youth formally prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Candidates are required to attend the parish retreat or an alternate experience approved by the director. Candidates choose a sponsor and a Confirmation name in order to prepare for this sacrament. The celebration of Confirmation takes place in the spring. Families are notified of the date upon hearing from the bishop’s office.
