Youth Groups
2012 Schedule
Youth Registration
Form
Youth in 7th through 12th grades meet most
Sundays, during the school year, from 5:30 to 7:00pm in Parish Hall.
The teens are broken into three groups, (Rite 13: 7th/8th)
(J2A: 9th/10th) and (YAC: 11th/12th)
as part of our “Journey to Adulthood Program.” This program follows the
teens as they transition from being youth in our church to full and
active participants. Teens will variously socialize, study and explore
their faith, discuss difficult life issues, perform community outreach
projects, take part in church activities and, of course, have fun and
make friends.
Rite
13
The curriculum focuses on building community and helping 11- to
13-year-olds through the difficult transitions of adolescence, with
particular emphasis on Christian values as they apply to adolescent
experience. Central to the program is the Rite 13, a ritual that
recognizes God’s gift of adulthood with a special liturgy of
presentation to the parish family and friends.
J2A
J2A continues to enhance the spiritual journey that students begin in
Rite 13. Comprised of 9th through 10th graders, J2A seeks to provide a
Christian forum for exploring issues relevant to students. The program
develops specific skills needed for successful adulthood, including
listening, problem solving, negotiating and working partnerships. In the
second year of J2A, students are prepared for confirmation which will
occur in 2011-12.
YAC
- Young Adults at Church
The last component of the Journey-to-Adulthood, YAC invites students in
11th and 12th grades to find ministries within the church as well as to
design and execute programs for outreach within the community.
