Discipleship Groups -  Beginning in 7th Grade, we encourage youth, in partnership with their parents, to form small, faith-sharing groups, comprised of 6-8 same gendered youth.  The group is then led by 1 or 2 Mentors from our AFC.  We use the YDisciple program, available from Formed.org., as well as a number of Bible Studies and Theology of the Body.  Ideally, groups meet 2-4 times a month for approximately 90 minutes..

Why YDisciple and Small Groups?

YDisciple is a tool to multiply small group discipleship with teens in any parish. In order to mobilize as many adults as possible to facilitate small group discipleship with teens, YDisciple’s online platform delivers practical training, video studies, activity sessions, and parent resources. YDisciple meets the fundamental needs of teenagers through a model that is relational, relevant, and parent-driven.
