Join Our Parish to Strengthen Your Christian Faith

Our High school program focuses on preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation. This preparation involves a two-year process that can begin as early as the 9th grade. 

Year 1 of Confirmation includes large group and small group sessions using Loyola Press’ “Called to be Catholic.” Throughout the year, the teens will relook at the basic teachings and understandings of the Catholic Church, and they will have two guest speakers who will help to challenge them to grow in their faith. The teens will be required to do 10 hours of community service, attend Sanctuary (Our youth Group) 5 times, and perform a Liturgical Ministry role one time. They will also be required to attend a one-day retreat held here at Risen Savior. This program can be started in 9-11 grades

Year 2 of Confirmation includes large group and small group sessions using Loyola Press’ “Confirmed in the Spirit.” This program invites, welcomes, and nurtures young Catholics as they grow in faith, and through the power of the Holy Spirit, embrace their role as mature, faithful disciples of Jesus Christ. The teens will listen to two guest speakers who will help to challenge them to grow in their faith along with the following requirements: The teens will be required to do 20 hours of community service, attend Sanctuary (Our youth Group) 5 times and perform a Liturgical Ministry role one time. They will also be required to attend a weekend retreat held Camp Courage and led by our wonderful Youth Ministry team. This program can be started in 10-12 grades after the completion of Year 1 Confirmation.
