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 Altaration: The Mysteries of the Mass Revealed. Endorsed by the USCCB, the aim of the curriculum is to deepen the young person’s understanding and appreciation of the Mass and the priesthood. It aims to connect the liturgy with their everyday lives and help them see the Mass as a profound and meaningful experience. 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.
The 2025-26 curriculum will explore Connected:
Catholic Social Teaching for This Generation. Connected offers a unique presentation that blends glimpses of Catholic organizations at work in the world today, with accessible and attractive explanations of Church teaching, as well as engaging stories of the saints. This combination cuts through the noise to touch the hearts and enlighten the minds of teens.
Grades 9-10 will meet two Sundays of the month from 10-11am and then attend 11:00am Liturgy.
Two years of High School Christian Formation classes are required of any young person, not enrolled in a Catholic High School before they begin to prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation.
