All families with children not attending Catholic schools are encouraged and expected to have their children participate in faith formation, but we also gladly welcome and encourage participation from our Catholic school families also. At the high school level, we have Life Teen on Wednesday nights (or a bimonthly Sunday option taking place on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month from 10:45AM-1:00PM, for those unable to attend on Wednesdays).
Life Teen meets from 6:30-8:30PM on Wednesday nights at the Emmaus House. (The first half hour is dinner/social time.)
Participation in Life Teen (or another approved at home faith formation option) is required for Confirmation for non-Roncalli teens. No teen will be allowed to register for Confirmation if not engaging in Life Teen or approved faith formation at home. Life Teen is not meant to be purely catechetical, but are meant to also help teens encounter Jesus, learn to pray, participate in faith-based discussion, and grow in community. Come join us as we grow towards being intentional disciples!

(Note, as of Spring 2026, we are no longer offering/requiring high school mini courses prior to Confirmation. Those who've completed mini courses will have these count towards their faith formation hours.)
(Subject to change.)
Life Teen is a large group/small group model of faith formation. Throughout the year we feature a variety of topical 3-4 week miniseries. Our Life Nights generally flow:
Gather: Activity to break open the topic of the night
Proclaim: Teaching on the night's topic
Break: Small group discussion
Send: Closing prayer focused on the topic of the night
Sunday Bimonthly option (for teens unable to attend Life Teen): Our bimonthly Sunday faith formation option will take place from 10:45AM-1:00PM on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, following 9:30AM Mass. Sessions will include videos from FORMED (generally on the same topics being covered at Life Teen), discussion, prayer, time with the weekend's Gospel, and lunch.
