middle school- Encounter and Samaritans
Our Middle School program is divided into two sections. Grades 5-6, called Encounter, delve into learning who God made them to be. They will walk with Jesus and discover more about themselves and the lives of our Saints.
Our 7th and 8th grade students, Samaritians, will learn more about the importance of social justice in our faith. They will spend the year deepening their faith through the 7 themes of Catholic Social Justice teaching.
Encounter and Samaritians will meet on opposite Mondays nights from 6:30-8:15pm. Each group will have three offsite events to deepen their connection of faith through prayer and service. You can find the full schedule below.

Teens in grades 9 – 10 will worship, learn, and grow as they get to know the Lord Jesus. Our Emmaus teens will be learning more about being active disciples in our world and how faith is a part of everyday life.
Emmaus is prerequisite to confirmation and meets twice a month from 5 to 8:15pm. Students will attend the 5pm Mass as a group, have dinner together, and have large and small group time with their peers. They will have three offsite events during the year intended to deepen their faith through both prayer and service. You can find the full schedule below.
