High School Formation

The High School Catholic Formation department would like to invite all newly-confirmed (or soon-to-be confirmed) students to take part in the Senior Peer Leadership Program to lead the sacramental preparation efforts of the high school classes, middle school classes or elementary school classes. We also have additional options for leadership opportunities.

As a member of the Senior Peer Leadership Program, students will:
Help coordinate the Confirmation/High School Program small group content for 9th, 10th and/or 11th grade.

1. Co-lead a group of students throughout the 2021-2022 formation year. Students are able to choose which grade they would like to help with from K4/K5-11th grade. This year a young adult and 2 senior leaders will be paired together for formation or 2-3 seniors in a room together.
2. Attend all formation sessions for your scheduled day Sundays evenings (6th-11th grade) or Sunday mornings (K4/K5-5th grade).  
   1. If you will be unable to co-lead a session with your partner, arrangements will need to be made to find a substitute at least one week prior to the class
3. Attend Mass every Sunday.
4. Attend our Leadership team feedback meeting following small group (once a month) and any leadership trainings throughout the year.

6. Being trained to participate in the Mass liturgy as Eucharistic Ministers, Ushers, and Lectors
7. Assisting in planning and/or help lead our high school retreats (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior) and/or middle school retreats (6th-8th grade retreat).
8. Assisting in planning and implementing additional social and faith based programming for the high school youth.

We hope that you are interested in walking alongside your peers as you grow in understanding your own faith and relationship with Christ. Senior Peer Leaders are teens who are striving to be the best version of themselves, and are willing to share themselves with other teenagers by working directly with the youth minister and other peer leaders to help plan events, lead retreats, and by being a daily role model.

All high school students will need to complete either 10 hours of service throughout the formation year and the service reflection sheet OR ou COVID-friendly alternative service option.  Please see below for links to the service options as well as volunteer opportunities within the parish.  

Service hour forms are due on or before April 30th, 2022
