Youth & Teens
St. Monica utilizes a discipleship model centered around relational ministry to foster knowing the Lord Jesus and developing the habits necessary to live as followers of Christ. Youth in 6th-12th grade meet on a weekly basis with programming that is designed to incorporate all aspects of discipleship. Teens spend time in prayer, fellowship, on-going intellectual study, and service.
middle school YOUTH (6th, 7th, 8th Grade)
Youth are encouraged to be active in the church and community. We also ask them to continue to meet as a junior/senior class on Wednesday evenings for Bible Study—discussing the upcoming weekend's readings, applying the Scriptures to their lives, and learning about apologetics (how to defend their faith).
High School Youth (9th-12th Grade)
High school discipleship groups spend time in prayer, fellowship, on-going intellectual study, and service as they prepare for confirmation or continue to grow as disciples in post-confirmation formation.
Confirmation
Preparation for Confirmation is a course on Catholic morals and ethics.
Post-confirmation
Post-confirmation groups focus on forming lasting friendships and prepare teens to own their faith as they move on to college and beyond.
RCIC
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Children (RCIC) is for unbaptized children from 4th grade to about 15 years old. They are prepared for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist and join the Church at Easter Vigil.
