"The most effective catechetical program for adolescents are integrated into a comprehensive program of pastoral ministry for youth that includes catechesis, community life, evangelization, justice and service, leadership development, pastoral
care , and prayer and worship. Such programs aim to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today; to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community; and to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person."
(National Directory for Catechesis, p. 201)
The mission of St. John the Beloved Faith Faith Formation Ministry to our Youth is to empower them to live as disciples of Jesus Christ, to lead them into full participation in the Catholic faith community, and to foster real, personal growth in a relationship with God.Middle/High School Faith Formation
Middle and High School Faith Formation is a comprehensive program formed out of the USCCB's documents on effective ministry. It includes faith formation, small group faith sharing, cathechesis, service, and of course fun. We meet Sunday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00pm starting in September. Our groups are divided up by Middle School (6-8) and High School (9-12). We also have Middle School Faith Formation available in a small group setting on Tuesday Night 6-7:15pm.
Please contact Aubrey Barnaby and James McAlister at youth@sjbsummerville.org for more information.
I wish this type of learning came along sooner in my life. At the begining of the year, I wasnt sure if God was real...Now I realize that I didn't understand enough about God and the church to truly believe. this year of faith formation I learned more than the rest of my life combined, the faith was laid out in a way I could understand everything. and it made sense like it never did before
