Youth Discipleship Interest Survey
We are looking for YOUR unique charisms of the Holy Spirit to bring our youth ministry program to the next level! We need teens and adults to make it work!  

Overview of Divine Mercy Catholic Church Youth Ministry Programs:  

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (Preschool/Elementary) - Scripture, Liturgy, and the history of our faith is presented in a Montessori based approach.  Assistants are needed to help prepare materials and guide students in reading and completing their individual works. 

First Communion (2nd grade and up) - Students receive instruction and preparation for reconciliation and the reception of the Eucharist, the most holy body and blood of Jesus.  Catechists and assistants are needed for Wednesday nights as well as spring workshops.  Assisting these students is a great way to revive your own love of the sacraments.

Edge (Middle School) - The purpose of Edge is to help middle schoolers encounter Christ through fun games and skits, dynamic talks and intimate small groups. Each Edge night consists of gathering in a large group, proclaiming God's word, breaking into small groups led by high school leaders, ending with prayer and worship, then sending them off to spread the Good News.  

Lifeteen (High School) - Lifeteen Life Nights serve a profound purpose: empowering high schoolers to embrace a transformative encounter with Christ. These engaging sessions offer invaluable opportunities for teenagers to delve deeper into their faith, fostering an environment where they can openly share their beliefs with their peers through heartfelt witness talks and interactive discussions. Moreover, these gatherings provide vital insights into the challenges that today's teenagers face, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to effectively navigate and overcome these obstacles.

Confirmation (8th Grade - 12th Grade) - During this transformative process, candidates engage in various activities and teachings that deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith and strengthen their relationship with God. Under the guidance of dedicated leaders, candidates learn about the significance and symbolism of the sacrament, explore the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and reflect on their personal commitment to living a life rooted in faith. Through prayer, study, and participation in communal activities, the candidates are prepared to receive the grace and empowerment of the Holy Spirit, marking a significant milestone in their spiritual growth within the Catholic Church.
