Our parish believes that the most effective way to meet the basic needs of teenagers today is small group discipleship.

Small group discipleship is not a program—it is an apprenticeship in the Christian life. Therefore, the aim is to create the best environment for apprenticeship to take place.

Small groups:
 

• provide an environment of trust and transparency so teens are known and loved
• connect teens with caring, faith-filled adults who can apprentice them in the disciplines of a disciple
• draw teens out of a peer-dominated paradigm and call them to maturity through relationships with adults
• strengthen catechesis through testimony, discussion, and faith sharing
