Year 1 – CYM 101

In the 1st year of the program, teens will begin to understand their faith at a more grown-up level. They will have small group discussions, attend Teen Mass, and participate in service projects.

Year 2 – Confirmation Prep

In the 2nd year of the program, teens will dig deeper into the Catholic faith and learn how to make it their own. They will continue the activities from last year, additionally choosing their Confirmation Sponsor, Saint, and Motto, and finally receive the sacrament of Confirmation in spring.
