Making Disciples: Teens
Curriculum
Students, parents, and sponsors will use our Chosen (by Ascension Presents) curriculum with scripture study and select Theology of the Body lessons during their two years with us. The Sacrament of Confirmation takes place in the spring of their second year.
Volunteer
St. Joseph's Faith Formation Program depends greatly on volunteers. Training, lesson plans, and support are provided. Many people who decide to answer the call to the ministry of catechesis find that it deepens their own faith. We ask for at least one parent of any students involved in Faith Formation to volunteer in some way.
Upperclassmen volunteers can earn service hours and grow in their faith as they share the Gospel with their own stories of encounters with Christ. We highly encourage students to be active members of their community throughout high school and beyond, especially after being fully initiated into Church at Confirmation.
A diocesan background check and VIRTUS training is required for all adults working with children. If you are interseted in volunteering, please review and complete the following:
If you have any questions about St. Joseph’s Faith Formation programs or wish to volunteer, please contact our Director of Faith Formation/Parish Evangelist at 515-402-4733.
