Life Teen Youth Ministry (High School Faith Formation) - Volunteer

LIFE TEEN (Catechetical Formation)
At St. Cecilia Catholic Church, we offer a four-year formation program which includes confirmation preparation, sacramental catechesis, and participation in Militia Mariae (11th & 12th Grades). Confirmation candidates must be informed during their freshman year to participate in immediate preparation and receive confirmation at the end of their sophomore year. They attend large-group teachings and small group sessions on Sunday nights, at leastone confirmation retreat, and take part in service opportunities in theirchurch and community as a part of this preparation.

Core Team members are a very diverse group ranging from parents of teensto young professionals who are married or single, to college students. OurCore Team leads a small group of teens who are gender specific. All CoreTeam members work hard to spread and share their faith by pairing with other team members; no one works alone. We learn so much from the youthand have so much fun ministering to them. We offer service opportunities, social nights, retreats, conferences, and so much more. Yes, there is a needfor you!

OCIC for High School Students
This form of the order of Christian initiation is intended for children, not baptized as infants or who are baptized but have not received any formal catechesis, who have attained the use of reason (14—17 years old), and are of catechetical age. They seek Christian initiation either at the direction of their parents or guardians or, with parental permission, on the irinitiative. Such children are capable of receiving and nurturing a personal faith and of recognizing an obligation in conscience. But they cannot yet be treated as adults because, at this stage of their lives, they are dependent on their parents or guardians and are still strongly influenced bytheir companions and their social surroundings.
