Small Group Formation:

Grades 9-12th

Students gather in small groups at the catechists’ home for faith sharing, fun and fellowship.  They meet approximately 10 times during the months of September through May.  They also participate in 1 service project and 1 retreat together.  Students are also required to attend large group events with a parent/guardian. 

Students in 11th grade must be in Small Group Formation because the curriculum is based on Confirmation theology. Get information about the Sacrament of Confirmation.
