High School Faith Formation is designed to help teenagers encounter Jesus Christ, deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith, and learn how to live that faith in today’s world. This stage of catechesis supports young people as they grow spiritually, intellectually, and morally, guiding them toward a mature and personal relationship with Christ.
“Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, faith, and purity.”
— 1 Timothy 4:12
Our Approach
Catechesis for high school students:
- Engages teens in meaningful conversation and reflection
- Connects faith with real-life questions and challenges
- Encourages prayer, service, and community involvement
- Helps students take ownership of their faith
Classes are interactive and age-appropriate, offering a safe and welcoming space where questions are respected and faith is explored thoughtfully.
What Teens Will Learn
High school catechesis focuses on:
- Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church
- The Sacraments and their relevance in daily life
- Moral decision-making and Catholic values
- Prayer and spiritual life
- Living the Gospel through service and discipleship
Special emphasis is placed on helping teens understand why we believe what we believe and how faith shapes our identity and choices.
Faith Beyond the Classroom
Faith formation extends beyond weekly meetings. Students are encouraged to:
- Participate regularly in Sunday Mass
- Engage in service projects and parish life
- Develop a personal prayer life
- Build supportive relationships within the faith community
Partnering with Families
Parents and guardians play a vital role in the faith journey of their teenagers. High School Faith Formation works in partnership with families to support and encourage young people as they grow in faith and discipleship.
“Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.”
