“What is needed today is a Church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people.  Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and, through his body which is the Church, to propose the possibility of a choice which will require a commitment of their lives.  As Jesus with the disciples on Emmaus, so the Church must become today the traveling companion of young people…” 

(Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day 1995, Philippines)

 

About Youth Ministry     Top

St. Benedict’s Youth Ministry welcomes the challenge of walking with our youth on their spiritual journeys.  We seek to assist families in developing the total personal and spiritual growth of the junior high and high school youth of the parish.  Formation, service, and social opportunities and experiences are provided in which youth examine the meaning of being Catholic; reflect on the gospel message of Jesus Christ; come together to share thoughts, emotions, and ideas; connect with youth in the parish and in neighboring communities; and gain an understanding of stewardship through use of their time and talents.  These opportunities seek to draw youth to responsible participation in the greater mission, life, and work of the faith community and to empower them to become disciples of Jesus Christ.

“…Confirmed by the gift of the Spirit, that they give witness to Christ by lives built on faith and love…” 

General Intercession from the Rite of Confirmation 

As the final sacrament of initiation, Confirmation welcomes us and deepens our belonging to our faith community; deepens our relationship to God, as Creator, Redeemer, and Spirit; and strengthens us as disciples.  The Confirmation program at St. Benedict’s is offered to teens in their junior year of high school.  Older teens and adults can prepare for Confirmation through the RCIA process.   

Our preparation for Confirmation will include the following components:
