A
large aspect of the J23 Youth Program is the Wednesday night Faith
Formation Groups. The curriculum is based off a progressive model
of understandable, relatable, and fun activities that draw teens
from 7th to 12th grade into a deeper examination of their own faith
development. All grades meet in small class groups for ten Wednesday
sessions that address various topics. The program is sensitive to
the academic school year and includes several large group activities
and guest speakers throughout the year.
Topics:
7th grade – Living as a Christian
8th Grade – Jesus: A Closer Examination
9th Grade – Stewards of life and Catholic Social Teaching
10th Grade – Spirituality and the Sacraments
11th Grade - Confirmation
Program
12th Grade – Beyond Church Walls
