Confirmation Preparation
The Confirmation program is a process that helps high school students
explore what it means to make a faith commit-ment and to accept
the responsibilities that come with such a decision. Adults are
needed to join the preparation team to conduct the sessions.
Elyria Teens for Christ (ETC)
ETC is a youth ministry for area students
interested in developing a teen community that provides opportunities
for social interaction and meaningful participation in the life
of the Church and civic community. The program includes monthly
ETC liturgies, social events, and an annual weekend retreat, service
projects and programs geared towards teens. Programs, liturgies
and events are planned and executed by the teens with the help of
adult supervisors. We welcome all who wish to participate in any
and all of the ETC events.
Parish School of Religion (PSR)
Concerned about where your children are picking up their values?
Have an impact on these programs and be a Teacher or Teacher Aide
and work with children in their faith development. Both programs
plan activities in accordance with the children's developmental
level. Training and support are provided by the Program Coordinator.
Other adult supervisory help is also needed.
Pre-Baptism Program
A Pre-Baptism sacramental program is required for expectant parents
to update their knowledge of this life-giving sacrament with the
focus on community. Couples and single parents are needed to share
their faith experience/traditions of their families with these expectant
parents. This would require only one evening every other month.
RCIA Team
RCIA stands for the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults into
the Catholic faith. Parishioners who wish to share their faith with
these candidates are welcome to be on the team. Team members are
responsible for such things as greeting the candidates, leading
small group discussion and prayers. This experience is an excellent
way to learn and grow in one's personal faith and to lead others
to a fuller understanding of our religious traditions.
