Religious Education for Middle School

For youth in grades 5 through 8

Overview

Registration is now open for all grades 1-10 for the 2023/24 school year.

The 2023/24 school year will feature 8 livestreamed spotlight lessons just like last year. I had a great time doing them and I think they work for your busy lives. For the upcoming year I will continue to build on past lessons and include guest speakers and topics that are timely and relevant to your lives in middle school and the world we live in.

Our large group sessions will return on Monday and Wednesday afternoons and evenings. This year we will have five large group sessions.

This past year we started our G.A.I.M. time masses that took place during the 12 noon masses once a month. G.A.I.M. (Gospel Alive In Me) was so successful we will expand this service to twice a month.

Our team of Liz Greenop and Sue Hess have been amazing and will return to make the Sunday readings come alive to our students.

GAIM works like this: Students/families come to the 12-noon mass, and after the opening blessing we have the students come to the altar and then go to the chapel for us to “decode” the scriptures and put it on your level. This idea came from our Synod listening sessions we had this year. 

Our students have requested a more personal approach to understanding the scriptures and that is what we plan to do!
