Ministry: Formation Ministries

Cross Road is our high school youth ministry program. 9th grade is usually the 2nd year of Confirmation preparation (link to Confirmation page), and all 9th grade students who are not attending a Catholic High school should attend. All high school youth are welcome to attend Cross Road, regardless of grade.

Cross Road takes place after the 5:30pm Sunday Mass and meets roughly three times per month. We use a youth ministry model for “youth nights.” Participants GATHER together for a snack, fellowship, followed by a PROCLAIM given by an adult leader or peer leader. We then BREAK into designated small groups, led by adult group leaders to engage in deeper discussion of the evening’s proclaim. Small groups allow youth participants to build relationships within the groups and create a sense of community. Finally, we come back together to pray and to be SENT back into the world.

In addition to regular Sunday evening youth nights, youth are provided with opportunities to participate in retreats, socials and service projects throughout the session year.

Cross Train is our middle school faith formation program. Our goal is to connect the youth to each other, to our parish and church at large, and to God and Jesus Christ. We do this by creating a fun, engaging, meaningful, and faith filled environment. Our youth ministry model follows Jesus’ ministry on earth; gather, proclaim, break, and send. Join us as we meet two to three Sunday’s a month from 6:45-8:15. Learn, grow, and serve in our five social nights, five service projects, and prayer evenings included in our regular youth night program. If you are interested in joining, please contact Becky Cawley or Shawn Tenace.

Cross Walk meets immediately after the 9:00 AM Mass on Sunday mornings by breaking open the treasures of the Mass. Children hear a short “proclaim” in the Church challenging them to put their faith into action by living The Word heard at Mass. We live the Gospel and bring the Gospel to life.  Just as the USCCB’s National Directory for Catechesis says, “Catechesis both precedes the Liturgy and springs from it.”

All are welcome for adult bible study groups.

Hosting social, service, and spiritual events for those in their 20s and 30s. Single, married, or divorce; with kids or without – all are welcome!
