Shine (Grades 6-8)

Shine is our weekly ministry for middle schoolers grades 6-8 on Sunday nights from 6-730pm, after the 5pm Mass – all teens and their families are welcome and encouraged to attend the 5pm Mass! Join us every week for food, faith, and fun as we journey in community as disciples on mission in the good life God has planned for us. 

It doesn’t matter if you go to Catholic School or Non-Catholic School, if you are in 6th, 7th or 8th grade Shine is for YOU!

"Every parish should seek out its parishioners with cognitive, emotional and physical disabilities, support them with love and concern, and ensure that they have ready access to a catechetical program suited to their needs and abilities." - National Directory for Catechesis, 61.

We welcome all students with disabilities to participate in the ministry or program that is best for them in having a growing relationship with Christ. Consultation and inclusive formation opportunities are available within our middle school Shine program, as well as sacramental preparation. We are excited to match any student with disabilities or special needs with an adult or high school-aged buddy to help integrate the student into Shine. 

Every teen’s spiritual life is important to us! The celebration of the sacraments are critical moments on the adventure of holiness. We offer preparation programs for each Sacrament, including Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation for middle school and high school teens.

Youth Faith Formation assists families personally during their specific years of immediate preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Please contact us at 713-403-4191 or email youth@stmichaelchurch.net to begin this journey!

In the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, receptation of the Sacrament of Confirmation takes place after the 10th grade.
