Teen Faith Formation (Gr. 8-12)

• Overview

  Our sessions (classes) for all teens (Gr. 8-12) will be held on Sundays throughout the school year:

  
  -12:00 noon-1:30pm at St. Irene (Parish Hall, after Mass)
  -5:00-6:30pm at Holy Family (Lower Hall of St. Bernard Church)
  
  Teens should be registered for a specific location/time, and may make one-time changes by notifying Tony in advance.
  
  Teens who miss a session are expected to complete the Home Faith Reflection (make up work) by viewing the missed video content and completing the online form.

  Registered families will be sent links to subscribe to a digital calendar for the location(s) at which they are registered.

• Stations of the Cross

  Teens in High School Faith Formation experienced a prayer service of the Stations of the Cross, lead by our Peer Ministers, on Sunday, March 24, 2024. For those teens who missed that session, they are expected to complete a Home Faith Reflection by experiencing the Stations of the Cross another way: two options are linked below, from Formed, though other options are available as suggested on the Home Faith Reflection (make up) online form.

  In the fall of 2023, our first series was The Search Begins, hosted by Chris Stefanick, which is on the Formed platform. This excellent series will address basic questions about faith and engage all participants to ask important questions about our faith.
