High school sacrament preparation is a two year commitment to learn and live the Catholic faith.  It will run concurrently with our High School Youth Ministry and include open dialogue, prayer, scripture, catechesis, retreats and, service.  There will also be an optional annual Mission Trip, and optional Youth Conferences. 
Sessions will be weekly on Sunday evenings at 6:30 PM in the rectory meeting room.
Regular attendance at Sunday Mass is expected. 
There will be other catholic devotions, and experiences which will be a part of formation as your schedule allows.

Preparation for sacraments will take an intentional effort, regular attendance will be necessary and appreciated for the time and effort of the High School ministry team.  Sign up below, we look forward to meeting you.
