This area of ministry consists of many different components including faith sharing groups, service, retreats, and liturgy ministry. Three main goals of Youth Ministry are: to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today, to draw young people to responsible participation in life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community, and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person. (Goals are from the Archdiocesan level)

2023-2024 Youth Faith Formation Registration Information
Our Wednesday night youth programs at Sacred Heart are open to all public school youth from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Sacred Heart grade school children are welcome to attend of course as well if desired, but they are already getting religion lessons in their classrooms everyday, so their attendance on Wednesday nights is optional.
Classes meet twice per month on Wednesdays. K-8 meets from 6:00-7:30 in the Sacred Heart School classrooms, and high school students meet from 6:15-8:00 in the Sacred Heart School gym.
Registration is completely online--no paper forms. See link in the "Online Forms" section below.
2023-2024 Youth Faith Formation Calendar
2nd graders will be preparing for 1st Reconciliation on 12/21/22 for children in our Wednesday night RE program and 1st Holy Communion for both Sacred Heart School students and Sacred Heart RE students on 4/15/23.
Confirmation classes are held on one Sunday per month following 8 AM Mass in the assembly room. These are sessions specific to Confirmation and are to be attended by 10th graders (accompanied by either a parent or their sponsor) in addition to the regular Wednesday night classes, who will then receive the Sacrament of Confirmation right away during their 11th grade year. These dates are also listed on the In-Person Calendar linked above. Confirmation will be celebrated at Sacred Heart on 8/26/23 during our regular 4:30 pm Mass.
