Consistent week-to-week and year to year attendance is necessary to establish community, achieve the goals of the program, and prepare to receive the sacrament. Class attendance should take priority over other activities. Instructional class is offered twice a month, where students gather for grade-level faith formation class led by our clergy and teachers, followed by a time of contemplative worship as a group in the Church. Students are expected to be present and participate fully.  On non-instructional weeks, students gather for “Youth Group”  including small groups, service options, and more. While these “Youth Group” weeks are supplemental and not required to complete the program they are strongly encouraged to support the student’s faith formation.
