Youth Confirmation

Eucharistic Revival Pilgrimages
Ignite is a youth ministry program for high school aged teens.  During the school year, we start with the 4:30 pm Youth Mass on Sundays and go to 7:30 pm afterwards!  We hope to see you there!

Ignite's mission is "Setting hearts on fire for Christ."  Through prayer, teachings, small groups, and, well, fun, we accomplish this goal little by little!  Some amazing adults have come out of this program! 

Don't be shy!  Stop on by!  If nothing else, you always get a delicious snack/meal!
 Rise is a youth ministry program for middle school aged teens (6th, 7th and 8th grades).  We meet throughout the schoolyear on Wednesday nights from 6:00-7:30 pm! 

Rise Middle School Ministry is run by adults and high school students whose goal is to live holy lives despite the pressures the culture places on them.  They are great leaders and witnesses to the Catholic faith and they bless us with their presence every week at Rise!

Friends are welcome!  Stop on by on Wednesday nights! 
Middle School and High Schoolers can receive the Sacrament of Confirmation through Rise (for Middle School) and Ignite (for High School).  In addition to our regular Youth Ministries, Confirmation Students will attend several classes throughout the year, and get several unique and exciting experiences to help prepare them for the Sacrament of Confirmation.  
Middle and High School students are invited to participate in the Eucharistic Revival, by making pilgrimages to parishes around the Archdiocese of Denver. Every youth who visits all six designated pilgrimage sites will receive a Comic Book as a prize.


Each parish designated as a pilgrimage site has a particular theme associated with it. With the help of parent drivers, we will be traveling to each parish, exploring the themes and experiencing fellowship. We will go to a restaurant before or after each site in addition to the site.
