Faith Formation classes for Junior High School will be meeting in-person on selected Sunday evenings from 6:00 - 7:30 PM.  All classes will meet at St. Mary's School.

"The Chosen"
Students will be studying the lessons presented in the television series "The Chosen".  It is a TV show about Jesus.  The episodes are completely free to watch on the app and it connects directly to streaming devices with no fee or subscription.  We hope our students get a lot out of this series and hopefully it will prompt some interesting discussions.

There are two options available to watch this free series. 

(1) You can download The Chosen App from your Apple or Android app store. If you so choose you can cast the episodes from the app to your TV with Chromecast, AppleTV, Fire Stick, Roku, AndroidTV or Samsung Smart TV(Android only); (2) You can watch episodes on Youtube

Throughout their time in our youth program, students will share their time with our parish, the Catholic Church, and the community itself. This service remindes us that we are the hands and feet of Christ in the world. When you serve, you are taking part in a lifelong, Catholic tradition of sharing your time and talents with others. As Jesus said, “For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45).
