General Directory for Catechesis

“Catechesis is different than an academic course, which seeks to impart knowledge about a given subject. While a catechist certainly teaches, and the student catechized certainly learns,
the goal of catechesis is to bring about a personal encounter with Jesus Christ.
 It is teaching for conversion.”

Fees:
Confirmation $35
*Please know that NO teen is ever denied or turned away because of financial difficulty.
If you are in that position, just contact Sandy Smith at the parish office and let’s talk.



Sunday Evening Mass
Do you play guitar? Tambourine? Piano? Do you love to sing? We are always looking to add to our Music Ministry for Youth Masses! Approximately once a month, Life Teen and Edge come together to celebrate Liturgy. Attending this Mass fulfills the Sunday obligation. Teen and their families, as well as everyone in the parish, are encouraged to come & participate.

For dates of Sunday Evening Masses please see our Parish Calendar
