9-11th Grade: HS Alpha
We need great adults who love the Lord and our Catholic faith to mentor our high school students. Alpha is a place for teens to hear the Gospel, honestly discuss their beliefs, and respond. Table leaders are responsible for knowing the students at their table by name, praying for them regularly and helping facilitate discussion following the Alpha clips. Note: this is not a teaching role - it is a listening and “prodding” role. Your goal will be to help student give voice to their beliefs, introduce them to the Gospel, and help them figure out how to respond.
*Note: To work with children, you will need to complete the necessary Safe Environment requirements. See below.

9-10th Grade: Small Group Leaders
We need great adults who love the Lord and our Catholic faith to mentor our high school students. Leaders will be responsible for knowing their 4-5 teens, praying for them daily, and leading them, as a mentor, during small group time, and complete one “group bonding” event with their group outside of Church. Small groups meet 6x in the Spring, for 90 minutes, similar to a Bible study with various topics.
*Note: To work with children, you will need to complete the necessary Safe Environment requirements. See below.

11th Grade: Confirmation Coaches
We need great adults who love the Lord and our Catholic faith to mentor our Confirmation sponsors. Candidates preparing for Confirmation meet with their sponsor throughout the summer. To ensure that those sponsors are supported, we offer them each a "Confirmation Coach" who prays for them, maintains communication, and answers their questions. Confirmation leaders can also help plan and run the Confirmation retreats.
