Jr High and High School Faith Formation

Two new programs are beginning at SJA starting this October.

 

Jr High Faith Formation is for teens in middle school (7th and 8th grade). We will meet on Wednesday nights 6:30-8pm. We'll have fun, eat snacks, learn more about our awesome Catholic faith and we'll even get to spend a few minutes with Jesus in adoration! 

​

High School Faith Formation is for teens not registered for Confirmation this year (this includes returning teens who were recently Confirmed).  We will meet Wednesday nights 6:30-8pm.  As always, we'll have food, fun and adoration time with Jesus.

MISSION

To renew the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

VISION

To inspire a movement of Catholics across the United States who are healed, converted, formed, and unified by

an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist—and who are then sent out on mission “for the life of the world.”

TIMELINE

     JUNE 2022 - JUNE 2023
Year of Diocesan Revival

Launching on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, or Corpus Christi, the first year invites

diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to what Pope Francis has described as “a renewed personal encounter with Jesus Christ”—particularly the transforming power and mercy of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Each Diocese will offer events that encourage the faithful to grow in their understanding and devotion to Christ in the Eucharist, complemented by online formation and resources that will raise up Eucharistic Missionaries at all levels of the Church! Please join us in prayer for the renewal and healing of the United States as we answer this historic call to revival.

     JUNE 2023 - JUNE 2024

Year of Parish Revival

The second phase will foster eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through eucharistic adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit. These local efforts will help convert hearts and minds to fall more deeply in love with Jesus Christ, truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

     JULY 2024

National Eucharistic Congress

At this historic event, more than 100,000 Catholics of all ages will gather in Indianapolis to worship our Risen Lord in his humble disguise. The Holy Spirit will enkindle a missionary fire in the heart of our nation as we reconsecrate ourselves to the source and summit of our faith.

     JULY 2024 - JULY 2025

National Year of Mission

From the Congress in 2024 through Pentecost of 2025, the entire American Church will be sent on mission to share the gift of our Eucharistic Lord with their local communities and beyond. Let the light shine forth!
