Parental assistance is needed for Middle School.
Religious Education for Grades 6-8
Classes will be held on most Sundays between Masses in Father Val Hall.
Grades 6-8 will meet as one unit.
We will use Life Teen's Edge.
We will attempt to have a service project and other activities this year. In order to make this happen we will need parent volunteers to lead these activities.
Pope Francis has directed that Catholics focus on Family Catechesis, including catechizing our children but also developing ongoing faith formation for parents.
“Love is shown by little things, by attention to small daily signs which make us feel at home. Faith grows when it is lived and shaped by love. That is why our families, our homes, are true domestic churches (Pope Francis Homily Philadelphia, on Sunday, 27 September 2015)."
Our Middle School Youth, along with our High School Youth, will be starting their year on Sunday, September 7th with a special Jubilee Pilgrimage.
This day trip marks the official beginning of our religious education year. It will offer a powerful opportunity for spiritual growth and community bonding.
During the day, our middle schoolers will:
Reconnect with their church family and share about their summer experiences
Visit and learn about other parishes in our Diocese
Attend Mass together as a united faith community
Share a meal and fellowship
And, if applicable, receive a plenary indulgence as part of the Jubilee Year
This pilgrimage is not just an event—it’s a meaningful spiritual journey that sets the tone for the year ahead. Please make it a priority to participate.
