Area of Explorations – Through the PYC, the Youth are exploring other religions by visiting Synagogues and Mosque and attending Mass, discussing self-image, and touring local colleges. Check the Church Calendar for upcoming events.

Confirmation Class

Youth (usually Middle School students) participate in a 16 week Journey of Faith for Confirmation and Commissioning.  Classes include discussion of church history, governance, sacraments, resurrection, and the continuing faith journey.  Each student is paired with a church member who meets with him/her to read and discuss the Gospel of Luke and to share how to live out the faith in today’s world.
