Welcome to 9^th and 10^th Grade Catholic Formation at St. Mary’s!  We are glad you are here, and we are so excited to journey with you as you grow in your relationship with God.  Please see below for our 2022 – 2023 course offerings with sign-up links.  

The Invitation

At Jesus’ simple invitation to “follow me,” many of his first followers left everything behind to say yes to him.  Jesus still speaks this same invitation to each of us today.  What does it mean for us to say yes to Jesus?  “The Invitation” will explore the answer to this question while providing teens with prayer and service opportunities.

Venture

The Bible is the Word of God, but how do all the different people, stories, and time periods of the Bible fit together and what does it all mean for us today?  “Venture” will examine the overarching story of the Bible, from Genesis through Revelation.  This will help teens to have a better understand the Bible, how it applies to their lives, and what it means for us as Catholics today.  Teens will need to bring a Bible to each of the eight weeks.

Connected

How does Jesus’ message and teaching bring hope and healing to our world today?  How does God call us, as members of the Church, to live and respond to the brokenness and division all around us?  Through a look at the social teachings of the Catholic Church, “Connected” will help teens to discover the answer to these questions while enabling them to live the Gospel through extended service immersion opportunities.
