Making Disciples

Our High School Youth Ministry provides a place for the young people in our community to seek Jesus alongside their peers and mentors. We offer bible studies, Sacrament Preparation, trips, works of mercy, retreats, conferences, a Student Leadership Team, and more! 

Registration for the 2024-2025 Faith Formation year closes September 1!

Annual Theme

From the Garden to the ark, the tabernacle, the temple, and finally in his very person, God has always sought to be present with his people. He provides a place and a way for us to seek refuge. We all need a refuge, a place to rest, a place to belong and to worship. We need a sanctuary. Pray for our young church this year as we grow understand the worship we were made for and seek God in his sanctuary!

"One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord." (Psalm 27:4)

We need your support!

Looking for a way to support the young people in our community? Your prayers and gifts empower our team to serve teens from our parish and beyond. Whether you are looking for ways to volunteer, want to donate bibles and catechisms, or are able to help sponsor retreats and other events, we would love to connect with you! 

Book an Appointment

Sacrament Preparation

Preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation can begin as early as 9th grade for teens in the Diocese of San Diego. Our program's goal is to build teens into disciples who are ready to understand, live, and defend their faith. Included in preparation is scripture study, weekly Mass participation, retreats for teens and parents, works of mercy, large group sessions, Adoration nights, Sunday Purpose sessions, and at home family sessions. Our program is a "hybrid" structure, so it is done partially at home and on your own schedule, and partially in person at the parish. 

If your teen needs to prepare for Baptism, First Communion, or First Reconciliation, we would love to meet with you!
