    First communion requires two years of preparation. The first year gives students a general foundation in the faith, while the second year prepares them more immediately for the sacraments of first reconciliation and first communion.

    After receiving their first Holy Communion, students are welcome to go deeper into the faith on Monday nights. Catechists will guide students in deepening their prayer life, help them to understand the Bible, and will share with them Church teachings on living a moral life, all while having fun.

    Meetings are a blend of faith, fun, and fellowship so that our youth can strive to be future saints. This is a chance to encounter Jesus in who He really is and to ask the tough questions regarding life, the universe, and everything! We play games, have discussions, learn, pray, and sometimes eat dinner together.

    Students attend youth group for 2 years. In year 1, students attend only every-other Sunday for Youth Group nights. During these nights, we build up students’ foundation of faith, life of prayer, understanding of the Sacraments, and connection to their church community.

    In year 2, they will attend every Sunday. In addition to the regular youth group, in the alternating weeks they will attend the 2nd Year Sacraments Class, which dives deeper into the Catholic faith and what it means to be Confirmed. In year 2 they will also attend a retreat, provide service to the community, and choose their patron saint.

    Please note that attending TNTT, Catholic school, or Catholic Homeschool can replace the first year of formation, though the second year must be the parish Youth Group.
