Confirmation & Youth Ministry

St. Denis Confirmation & Youth Ministry is back in-person! We are happy to announce that incoming and returning high school teens in our program will enjoy in-person sessions to grow in faith and prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Sacramental Prep is a 2 year process.

Our ultimate goal is for our teens to develop a close, personal relationship with Jesus Christ! We offer dynamic sessions and events that create friendships and a sense of strong community. We will explore scripture, catechism and church traditions to inform and support our teens’ daily lives. Catechists and ministry leaders will accompany our teens and we encourage families to be part of their spiritual journey.
