Our older children, grades 6-12, experience a program known as Journey to Adulthood. This program is also separated into three distinct parts, each one paralleling the developing mind of the adolescent and teenager. Designed to foster spiritual formation and respect of each individual, participants find accepting, loving Sunday school classes that allow for growth and non-threatening questioning in a forum that uses discussion, projects and activities to instill the concept of service and trips away from home as catalyst.

Rite 13/Grades 6-7 Rite 13 reflects coming of age and moving from child to adolescent, and affirming that change with the young teen's parents. This change is acknowledged in an annual parish wide service called the "Celebration of Manhood and Womanhood". Adolescence is affirmed as a vibrant and exciting time of life with a balance between lessons and having fun. Each lesson throughout the year focuses on the underlying connection with God and themselves, their spirituality, sexuality, and place in society.

J2A/Grades 8-9 This class reflects on the themes of self, society, sexuality, and spirituality. Each year begins with service known as the "Litany of Dedication" and includes the parents of the teenager. Students also plan fundraising events for a pilgrimage they will take when they are 16 and also help support youth outreach initiatives.

Pilgrims/YACs - Grades 10-12 The "pilgrim" year follows the two years of the J2A cycle, preparation for both Confirmation and their Pilgrimage trip, taken in the summer of their 10th or 11th grade year. Upon return from the pilgrimage, the YACs (Young Adults in the Church) and their leaders use a variety of courses to explore topics critical to the unique pressures of the later teenage years, including discernment discussion and spiritual support and continuity during their college years and early career choices.
