Welcome to St. Bernard’s Youth Ministry and Confirmation Preparation!
This year we are transforming the way we approach our youth ministry and confirmation preparation. On Sunday evenings throughout the year, we will hold formal classes. The classes will begin following the 5 pm evening Mass. The goal is to have our youth assisting in the liturgies as servers, lectors, greeters, and collectors.
We recognize the importance of positive adults in the lives of our teens, especially at an early age. Our 7th grade class will have an opportunity to hear from adults who minister within our parish community in a variety of ways. They will hear and grow from their shared experience of faith.
The 8th graders will begin their pre-confirmation program using Chosen: Your Journey to Confirmation by Ascension Press.
Those who will be preparing for Confirmation will continue with Chosen as they journey towards this sacrament of initiation.
Teens spend beneficial time growing together in friendship and faith. On Friday evenings, we will offer fun opportunities for our youth to grow in relationship with one another.
