Youth 6-12

Why Be Catholic" will be the youth formation session for Grades 6-12 for that evening.  Please note: 

• This session is mandatory for Confirmation candidates
• Parents will drop off and pick up from Saint Mark Catholic Church at the address above. Parents are welcome to stay and attend.
• So Saint Mark can plan space accordingly, please RSVP below for teens and parents.

Youth Ministry at Church of Holy Family is comprised of youth formation sessions, youth group, parish and diocesan events and activities, and outreach.  
Youth Ministry is interactive with mixed-media sessions to engage our youth according to how they learn.  The world is very different from the way parents and grandparents grew up - physically, technologically, and psychologically. 

We find ways to connect with teens to the world in which they live but also in the world which they will create.  

Introducing

CURRICULUM: Connected: Bringing Faith to Life (Saint Mary's Press)

Introducing

Holy Family’s high school youth ministry is entitled The Now: Belong. Believe. Become. This year, 8th grade will meet with Grades 9-12.  The Now is based on the premise of Pope Francis’ call to build a synodal church. The name comes from the quote from Pope Francis when he addressed the young people in Panama City at the closing Mass for World Youth Day in 2019:  “You, dear young people, are not the future but the now of God." 

About the logo:

• the Cross for our Catholic faith.
• the Arrow: the urgency to act in the present moment - now. In his message for the XXVII World Youth Day in Lisbon, Pope Francis invites us to journey "with hearts afire with God’s urgent summons to arise."
• the Water: a reminder of our Baptismal call
• the Flames: the Holy Spirit 

For formation, Holy Family uses the YouCat and Saint Mary’s Press to ground high school teens in their faith  and live out their Baptismal call as priest, prophet and king.
