Registration for High School Youth Group never closes!!  We want every youth of the parish to feel welcome to join us for all the HS activities we have to offer. Your registration gives you the ability to participate in any, and all aspects of Youth Ministry throughout the 2021-22 school year.

Are you a high school youth that is preparing for Confirmation? 

All Confirmation prep classes are full and registration is closed, but if you are already registered, your 2021-22 faith formation registration allows you to freely participate in your Confirmation Prep, HS Youth Group, HS Bible Study, and (coming soon) Viewing Party and Discussion of the series The Chosen!

Are you a high school youth that has already been confirmed?

Your 2021-22 faith formation registration allows you to freely participate in HS Youth Group, TiLT (Teens in Leadership Training), HS Bible Study, and (coming soon) Viewing Party and Discussion of the series The Chosen!

Need to register your youth for HS Youth Group?

 Youth in grades 9-12 will gather as disciples of Christ to serve the Church, enter into community with one another, and study and live their faith. High school youth are also encouraged to join with family and parish community to explore our faith through the Explore Four pillars of social, service, and faith practice opportunities outlined on the Explore Four Chart.

HS Youth Group will be held Wednesday evenings from 7:30-8:30 (dates listed above and to the left), we offer a weekly Bible Study on Sundays from 9:00-9:45 am, TiLT (Teens in Leadership Training) on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 pm (dates listed above and to the left), and we hope to offer other small groups for high school youth that will be offered at a times still to be determined. The links for these opportunities will be sent out in the Friday Flocknotes.

Members of HS Youth Group and/or sub-groups will help run Trunk or Treat festivities, plan and lead the Confirmation retreat, and narrate and act out Shadow Stations of the Cross during Lent. Youth in grades 9-11 will plan and host a Senior dinner at the end of the school year for our graduating seniors.

Please be aware that only a parent or legal guardian may arrange for the sacraments, or religious education, of a minor child. It must be confirmed that any person registering a minor child for continuing religious education, or sacramental preparation, has the legal authority to do so. If that adult’s name is not reflected on the child’s birth certificate, or in the case of an already baptized minor child, on the baptismal certificate, the person must provide the proper documentation that shows he/she has the legal right to arrange for the spiritual needs of this child.

DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR REGISTRATION

In order to process a child’s registration, the person registering online must be able to answer “yes” to the following questions:

• Am I the parent or legal guardian of the child I am trying to register?
• Has my child been baptized? 
  • If yes, please upload a copy of your child's Baptismal Certificate from the child’s Church of Baptism when you are registering online. (If baptism was received at Our Lady of the Lake no baptismal certificate is needed)
  • If no, please upload your child's birth certificate when you are registering online
• Am I prepared to make a faith formation payment at the time of registration? (we accept credit or debit cards or e-checks)
