High School Catholic Formation Grades 9-12
9th-12th Discipleship Focused Ministry is not a program. It is an experience that clarifies our Catholic identity. Programs do not make disciples of Christ. God calls us by name to follow Him.
January - April, 2021:
2nd and 4th Sunday of each month - Girls, 9th-12th grade will meet at 10am at the Center for Contemplative Living in Elm Grove with Elizabeth Harrison and Sr. Ann Koerner. Contact: Elizabeth Harrison

Becoming Disciples of Christ
"What are you looking for?"
• Jn 1:35-42
It is a question meant for all men of every time and in all places and situations. It is the question put to the two disciples by Jesus. What are you seeking? What is the purpose of your existence? Who are you looking for? As a community, teens are invited to explore their faith and grow in virtue through Christ's teachings.
