Youth Formation

Our Youth Faith Formation is a journey that seeks to accompany teens in their human, spiritual, and relational growth. It helps them encounter Christ, strengthen their identity as children of God, and live their faith in a conscious and committed way.

This ministry integrates two main areas:

Youth Ministry, currently in a process of development and strengthening
Confirmation Program, an essential part of the young person’s sacramental journey

Both work together to form missionary disciples, young leaders, and active members of the Church.

Both programs are held at the St. Stephen Campus.

Youth Ministry

Grades 7 - 12

Youth Night is an evening where young people come together to:

Living together and creating community
To talk about their faith and their life
Pray together
Discovering that the Church is also a place for them

The third Friday of each month at the St. Stephen Campus

from 6:30pm to 8:30pm

Our hope is that Youth Night:

Be a gateway for teens who are not actively involved
Accompany Confirmation students beyond the sacrament
Give rise to a solid, consistent, and missionary Youth Ministry
