Our Catechist Core Team put together a variety of resources to prepare our teens for the Sacrament of Confirmation. We intend to guide our youth and help them respond to their calling, whatever it may be. It’s all right not to have it all figured out and put together, every person grows their faith in their own unique way. Saying “yes” to becoming a full-pledged Catholic is the first step to grow as a disciple of Christ. This process includes 2 retreats, community service hours as well as a mini-retreat with their Sponsors. A Sponsor is required for each candidate, and they too must attend some class sessions and the sponsors retreat.
Classes are held every other Tuesday from September to early June, 7PM-8:30PM in the PAC.
This program requires either a one or two track (“year”) process, please contact the office for more information, to be evaluated for a track please contact:
High School Youth Group
Sparks of Creation is a new youth ministry program at St. Lucy Parish for teens grades 9th through 12th. This group was started by five teens who met at our Confirmation classes. We want to take care of your spiritual, social, educational, and emotional needs. Come join us for great fellowship!
Sparks of Creation will meet bi-monthly on Friday nights, starting at 7PM ending at 8:30PM. Our youth minister and core members hope to lead the teens deeper into their Catholic faith through events, movies, readings, small groups, powerful talks, etc. Teens grow as a faith community, growing in understanding of what it means to be young and Catholic in the world today. Bring your high school friends! This program is free but you still have to sign-up.

EDGE -MIDDLE SCHOOL YOUTH MINISTRY
EDGE is a youth ministry for 6th, 7th and 8th Graders that is Catechetical, Relational, Experiential, and Catholic. Middle schoolers learn about the Catholic Faith and Catholic Traditions. Edge is a youth group – that means our format is more appealing to middle schoolers than a classroom setting for faith formation, more engaging and more practical. This fun and social program is open to all middle schoolers (both public and private schools) and it’s absolutely free. We meet weekly every Monday from 7PM to 8:30PM.
The EDGE’s Core Team has responded to God’s call to go out and make disciples of the nations by being here every week with the middle schoolers. The Core Team leads the tweens closer to Christ by example. We especially, encourage parents to get involved as Core Members because it fosters a positive view of people like their parents (or their actual parents) getting involved in their faith and in their lives.
