We are looking forward to a new year of the Cathedral Youth Group and happy to let you all know that the year begins for both Middle and High School on Friday, September 12th from 6:00PM-8:00PM.
This year the whole Cathedral Youth Group (both Middle and High School students, ages 12-17) will meet two Fridays a month. The nights will alternate between Adoration, Formation and new this year, Service/Mission Spotlight.
Adoration Nights will run as they have in the past—Adoration with Confession available, Benediction followed by snacks, fellowship and fun. The whole group will remain together on these nights.
Formation Nights will have some time of games and fellowship followed by a Formative and hopefully edifying presentation and small group discussions. It is the Team's hope to be able to divide MS and HS for the Formation part of these evenings. Our ability to do this will depend on the presence of volunteers as we would take one group upstairs for Formation and leave the other group in the Hall.
Service/Mission Spotlight Nights will of course hold fast to a game or two and snack but we will incorporate an aspect of service through some activity related to the Ministry that is being highlighted. On these nights we will be joined by a guest who will share their ministry and possibly ways the youth can actively participate in that particular outreach.
The first semester of Youth Group will meet on the following dates:
September 12: Adoration Night
September 26:Service/Mission highlight
October 10: Adoration Night
November 7: Formation Night
November 21: Adoration
*December 5: Service/Mission highlight
*December 19: Adoration
*December dates are tentative and will be confirmed by October 10th.
