Middle school youth can expect to learn about the Bible, Saints, Vocation and the Liturgy while meeting new people, and reconnecting with old friends. Snacks provided!

Fun events such as Black Light Dodge Ball and Escape Room in a Box are also planned for middle school fun nights (held during the normally scheduled faith formation session times). Check the calendar for more details!
