SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL YOUTH MINISTRY

Shine (Grades 6-8)

Awaken (Grades 9-12)

Confirmation prep (grades 10-12)

Miracles are fascinating. Scripture is overflowing with accounts of God controlling nature, healing the sick, and raising people from the dead. The Church consistently investigates and approves miracles attributed to the intercession of saints. Miracles can and should strengthen our faith in God, but so often they are easy to doubt. "Doubt It" is an Awaken series that will challenge high school teens to have expectant faith in God, who performs miracles as a way of revealing His power and goodness. Awaken is our program on Sunday nights for high school students in grades 9-12 beginning with the 5pm Sunday evening Mass, and continuing after Mass until 7:30 pm. At Awaken, high school students join a small group where they can go deeper with one another and their adult mentors, and form life-long friendships through the good, tough, and just busy times of high school.

"Fiat" is a powerful word that means “let it be.” When it is spoken throughout Scripture and in our lives, remarkable things happen. Through God speaking the words "fiat lux", the world began with the creation of light, and when Mary said "fiat", Jesus came into being and the world was forever changed. Throughout this series, the youth will explore what the word fiat means and these two places it is seen in Scripture. They will learn the importance of their own fiat to God’s will for their lives, and they will also learn that they can say fiat by hearing God, trusting in His words, and taking action. 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!
