MIDDLE SCHOOL

Do you LOVE Middle Schoolers? Do you want to walk with them as they learn more about Jesus and how he fits into their lives?  Then sign up to help with RISE .  No experience is necessary.  RISE meets as a large youth group but breaks off into grade-specific classes for discussion.  Each grade requires several small group leaders.    Catechists will also assist with occasional large group activities.  No preparation is needed and all supplies are provided. Come and spend some time with our young people.

RISE – Inspired by Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati’s motto “Verso L’Alto” (TO THE TOP), our middle school program empowers our RISE’rs to apply the Gospel to their lives.  Fostering the faith of young adolescents involves helping them to make connections between the Catholic faith and everyday life.  It also means helping young people to strengthen their connection to the faith community. 

RISE meets on Sunday evenings from 6:30-8:00 in the Ministry Center.  Our curriculum, Catholic Connections by St. Mary's Press, aims to strengthen each participant's Catholic identity and inspire them to participate more fully in the Church's mission.  

Various social and service activities will be available throughout the year. All 6-8 grade students, let us journey together TO THE TOP!  Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now available.
