Grades 6-12
What is Teen Disciple?
Teen Disciple is our religious education program for students in grades 6-12, created to help young people come to know Jesus Christ more deeply and live out their Catholic faith with confidence and joy. These are the years when big questions come up, and Teen Disciple offers a welcoming place to ask them, to explore the teachings of the Church, and to grow in friendship with Christ and with one another.
We gather every other Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 pm. Each evening begins around the table with dinner or snacks, because some of the best conversations start over a shared meal. Students then break into small groups led by Disciplers, caring adults from our parish family who walk alongside them, listen, and help them connect their faith to everyday life.
Parents are encouraged to come as well. While the teens meet, parents gather in their own small group to reflect, share, and grow in faith. As the first teachers of the faith in the home, parents play an irreplaceable role, and we are blessed to journey with the whole family.
Come as you are, bring a friend, and discover how Christ is calling you.
Why should I go?
Because your faith deserves more than a quick answer. Teen Disciple is a place where you can bring your real questions, share honestly, and be heard. You will meet other teens who are figuring things out too, and caring Disciplers who want to walk with you, not lecture you. Along the way, you will discover that the Catholic faith is not just a list of rules but a living relationship with Jesus Christ, who knows you, loves you, and has a purpose for your life. And yes, there is food.
If you are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, attending Teen Disciple is required. These evenings are part of your preparation to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit and to say your own “yes” to the faith you received at Baptism.
Where is Teen Disciple being held?
