Welcome to the High School Faith Formation page. I hope that we can expand this website in the coming months to be even more valuable for you as a high school youth, parent, or catechist.

Senior High Faith Formation is accomplished in a small group setting hosted in the catechist's homes. The curriculum is centered on preparation for the sacrament of Confirmation. Using both the Spirit Gospel Weeklies and Confirmed in a Faithful Community the preparation for Confirmation is liturgically based and modeled on the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). This three-year process also includes large group or gathered presentations, service opportunities, retreat experiences, prayer, and praise and worship.

The goal of the process is to integrate young people into the the Christian life and active participation in the parish. This is accomplished through active participation in both the formation process and Youth Ministry events. So that, by the time the youth is confirmed, they are truly celebrating an outward sign of the grace of God in the Holy Spirit already active in their daily life.

Faith Formation and Youth Ministry at St. Patrick weork together to bring the youth of our parish closer to Christ, to each other, to the Church, and to the larger community.
