Grades 6-10* faith formation is a new program this year. We are providing families with options on session dates and offering the youth choices on which session topics they want to attend. The year is broken into 5-week trimesters, loosely based on the Shenendehowa seasonal sports calendar. Youth are required to attend two of the trimesters, but are welcome to attend all three. Additionally, each student is required to volunteer in a liturgical ministry at one of three designated Masses, attendance at all three is required, participate in the Youth Stations of the Cross on March 28, 2025, and attend one of three Liturgical and Prayer Sessions (dates TBD). Calendar edits will be finalized by 08/31.
