All parish youth in grades 6-12 are encouraged to blaze a trail on what Pope John Paul II called a ‘noble adventure’ – a journey to explore your faith and deepen your relationship with Jesus while connecting with friends new and old.

FiRE meets most Wednesday evenings from 6:15-7:30 PM. 
See the 2017-18 calendar.
 

Middle School Faith Formation (Grade 6-8)

Middle school faith formation groups are offered on Wednesday nights or once a month on Sundays. We will be using a wonderful new and engaging curriculum called Edge by Lifeteen for our middle school youth beginning in 2015-2016.
 
We will also be scheduling some “community nights” on some Wednesday nights which will be nights where all groups will be together—it might be bowling or a service project. Friends will also be welcome to join any faith formation activities, so please feel free to invite them!

Adult leaders are needed. Fees are waived for children of adult leaders.

High School Grade 9

High school faith formation classes for Grade 9 will be offered on Wednesday nights, Sundays or at times to be determined by small groups and their leaders.
 
Beginning with students entering Grade 9 this fall, Holy Spirit will be welcoming all rising freshmen to participate in what we hope will be a new and more flexible faith learning program. 
 
Please note: Students entering Grade 9 in the fall are also eligible to begin preparing for the sacrament of Confirmation. You will receive more information about the Confirmation preparation program in the fall.
 
Adult leaders are needed. Fees are waived for children of adult leaders.

High School Grades 10-12

High School faith formation classes for Gr. 10-12 will be offered Wednesday nights or Sundays.
 
Students in Grades 10-12 who participated in the First Sundays program last year will be able to register for the program so they may complete the Chosen curriculum in 2015-2016.
 
The Wednesday night high school class will begin using a new curriculum called Y-Disciples along with other resources.
 
We will also be scheduling some “community nights” on some Wednesday nights which will be nights where all groups will be together.  Some examples of a community night might be: bowling, working at Channel One or another service project. Friends are welcome to join any faith formation activities, so please feel free to invite them!
 
Adult leaders are needed. Fees are waived for children of adult leaders.
