Middle school faith formation builds upon elementary faith formation. The program is designed to transition youth from an elementary understanding of the faith to preparing them to enter Confirmation Preparation. Approaching faith formation at a developmental level, we strongly encourage middle school youth to also attend Junior Youth Ministry (JYM) events. Our program is designed to work in sync with each other. Visit the youth ministry page for more information!
Classes meet from September through early May. DUE TO COVID, ALL CLASSES ARE AT HOME. WE ANTICIPATE IN PERSON CLASSES IN THE 2021-2022 ACADEMIC YEAR.
Please visit our Registration page to register online or to download the PDF form.
Parents are the first and primary catechist of their children. Please take some time to consider your options. If you have questions, please contact our Director of Catechetical Ministries at mallison@st.patsak.org

In many ways, 6th grade youth are still elementary school students. Our sixth grade program is designed to transition them into middle school. While classes are built to look like elementary classes, the material focus will shift to "Where/to whom do I belong?" Youth will use Faith and Life: Following Christ. We will use the Ten Commandments to examine our relationships with Christ and our neighbors.

7th grade students are firmly middle schoolers--in all that entails! They are curious, excitable, confident, and active! Our 7th grade classes approach the question "where/to whom do I belong?" by discussing the Sacraments. Youth will use Faith and Life: The Life of Grace.

8th graders are beginning the transition into high school and into Confirmation Preparation. Our classes are designed to reflect this change in status and development. Still addressing the question of "where/to whom do I belong?", youth will examine Church history and virtue. They will use Faith and Life: Our Life in the Church.
