Dear Friends in Christ,
 
I would like to share with you information about a wonderful Confirmation class that is being offered to our youth this school year.
 
The classes consist of a two year, 24 session program with its prime objective on evangelizing the students and accompanying them as they become Disciples of Christ.
 
The curriculum addresses three major questions; “Why believe in God”, “Why trust Jesus”, and “Why be a part of the Church”? These questions will be answered with the “Foundations” book series, which will allow the students to examine more deeply each question posed as they prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation.
 
“Life Teen” is a proactive program that leads teens to Christ through many activities including “Purpose,” which is a Confirmation preparation program. More than a resource, “Purpose” is designed to help proclaim the Gospel message to young people while providing an atmosphere where they are mentored by adult leaders toward discipleship.
 
One of the requirements of the program is to attend Mass every Sunday; therefore, the 5:30 PM Mass will become our youth Mass and it will begin Sunday, October 6, 2019. Our goal is to teach teens about our Catholic faith and attending Mass every Sunday is one of many steps in that direction.
 
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
 
 
 
Father Felipe, Pastor
