6th Grade Focus

In 6th grade we hope to instill a strong commitment to and love for Sacred Scripture all while assiting 6th graders as they transition into middle school and into the new to them middle-high school community here at Pax Christi. Their evenings will consist of reflecting on the upcoming Sunday Mass readings as well as some guided activities such as games in the gym/youth room. We keep 6th graders moving and engaged!

7th-8th Grade Focus

These two years of our lives are all about transition. All of our efforts focus on assisting our young students as they navigate changes in their lives. Seventh and eighth graders will engage in both large and small group style faith formation which will include: prayer; witness talks; multimedia presentations; games; discussion; activities; etc… The content of our evenings together comes from “Edge” published by LifeTeen, various Ascension Press resources, as well as other publishers from time to time.

9th-12th Grade Focus

In high school we begin to shift faith formation efforts increasingly towards the small group setting. In particular, we like to focus very intentionally on developing strong prayer lives, accountability among peers, and a deep understanding of discipleship. Ultimately, we hope these years will launch young people into a relationship with Christ and his Church that will last a lifetime  and give them the tools, skills, knowledge, etc… to be Jesus’ disciples and living saints. We use Life Teen’s "Purpose," “Summit Lectionary Studies,” and "Life Nights" along with other resources appropriate for the developmental stages of high school students as they begin to transition into young adulthood.
