6th through 8th Grade: YDisciple Small Groups (Wednesday evenings)

Our middle school groups this year will be nourished through YDisciple. YDisciple isn’t just another video resource or program. Programs don’t make disciples. Only a disciple can. That’s why YDisciple couples video resources with extensive training and support for leaders. These resources include not only the highest caliber, Catholic videos for young people but also guides to help leaders facilitate meaningful discussion, participant guides to help middle schoolers grasp key concepts, and parent resources to encourage parents to stay engaged. These groups will strive to cultivate disciples by building a foundation for the sacrament of Confirmation which students will intensely prepare for in grades nine and ten.

9th and 10th Grade (typically): Confirmation Preparation (Sunday evenings)
Confirmation preparation at Pax Christi is a two year process, beginning typically in 9th grade and culminating with the reception of the Sacrament in 10th grade. We will utilize YDisciple for cultivating these small groups on Sunday evenings; these groups will be made up of friends and peers led by adult and peer leaders. Students and leaders remain in the same small group for two years to build trust and deep relationships with one another. Students in Confirmation preparation will learn about the faith, explore vocations, and make a commitment of their lives to the Gospel and an ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ as his disciple.

High School Small Group & Student Leadership (Sunday evenings)
Once students have received the Sacrament of Confirmation, they are invited to continue their lifelong discipleship journey in a YDisciple high school small group comprised of fellow peers on Sunday nights. These groups will provide an opportunity to develop relationships, to provide a place of encounter where teens can feel known, loved, and cared for. We hope that these groups provide a place where teens have the freedom to open up about their struggles and doubts. Topics will be customized to best reach the teens in a way that is authentic and faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church. We also provide opportunities for leadership. We love to have student leaders in our small groups on Sundays; this is a great way to live out one’s call to discipleship and lifelong relationship with Jesus.
