Youth Mass

Each student in the Confirmation Program must participate and serve during a Youth Mass. Each Youth Mass occurs on the third Sunday of the month at the 11am mass.

During the month of March, since there is no scheduled youth mass, the Confirmation Program will be sponsoring a Stations of the Cross night. Confirmation students may volunteer to lead prayer/reflection during that night. This will count as participation in Youth Mass.

Also, since the March 26thYouth Night was cancelled, Confirmation Students are REQUIRED to attend ONE Stations of the Cross Night. You may pick any Friday (2/16, 2/23, 3/2, 3/9, 3/16, 3/23) during Lent to attend. Sign in sheets will be in the Vestibule.

At the end of this Faith Formation Year, please keep Decision Point Workbooks so that the students can use them next year.

*Students must be registered each year for Faith Formation. Participation in previous years does not count for registration for the following year.*
