Faith Formation

Faith Formation is a lifelong process of forming and growing in faith. It is an active engagement through prayer, participation in the sacraments, the liturgy, parish life, social commitments, works of charity, and the promotion of human values.

Middle School and High School

Middle School Grades 5-8

Youth in grades 5-8 meet in classes led by volunteer catechists two Wednesdays a month.  5th grade focuses on the Bible. How to use the bible, look up passages and how it is put together. 6th grade focuses on the person of Jesus Christ; 7th grade focuses on the Liturgy and the Seven Sacraments; 8th grade focuses on Christian Morality and Prayer.  Youth in grades 6-8 will also meet in a large group setting four times throughout the year with our Youth Ministers to spend time in worship, learning, service and fun.

High School Grades 9-12

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 though 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.

Adult Faith Formation

Risen Savior seeks to be a welcoming, nourishing, and engaging environment for all people to grow in their faith.
