We are excited to see our youth grades 6-8 be active in the faith. We look to provide a program that teaches, excites, energizes, and inspires them to engage their God.  For 2021-2021, we will be offering two program options: Online and In Person.

• 6th graders can only do the online option for now.
• 7th graders can do online with some possible limited in-person.
• 8th - 12th graders can do both programs, at the same time.

• Go to the website above and find the grade level that is appropriate.
• Do this program at your own pace

• 9th - 12th-grade Confirmation Candidates, please use the 8th-grade module.

• 7th - 12th graders doing this program for Confirmation Credit must do the following:
  • At the end of each session are questions.  Write an answer to 4 of the questions listed.
  • Turn those answers in to Philip Dezern and you will get 1 hour of credit toward Confirmation for each session of questions you complete.  You can email or mail these to Philip Dezern (please mail to St. Catherine of Siena Parish, Attn: Philip Dezern, 1150 West Centre Avenue, Portage, MI  49024).
  • You can turn these answers in after each session, monthly, or after all sessions are completed.  Please put your name at the top of the sheet and the grade that you are in, as well as the session topic.

• We are not guaranteeing we will be offering in-person activities every month. 
• You will register with Philip Dezern by email or phone call (616-633-0994) for each session.
• Registration cut-off is Saturday at noon, or when the activity is full.  We cannot take walk-ins.
• Each session will count 1.5 hours toward Confirmation.  
• 8th-12th-graders can sign-up for activities as soon as the date gets announced.
• 7th graders can sign-up the Thursday before an in-person activity if there is space available.
• Masks are required for all in-person activities. 
• Please bring your own water bottle as the drinking fountains will be non-functional.

If you are getting confirmed this year, please return the Confirmation Record-Keeping Form.  Please contact the Youth Minister for more information
