The Companions are a group of middle school students who are committed to Christ and to growing in their knowledge and practice of His virtues. The group usually meets twice a month for dinner, games, prayer and an instruction on the month’s virtue. Read the Companions calendar for more information.

Junior Youth Ministry (JYM) is open to all middle school youth. Here, you will find information on our 6th grade Faith Formation and 7th and 8th grade Confirmation classes, for those who are not attending a Catholic school, and information about our middle school youth group. 

No matter what activity you take part in, our goal is always to help our youth grow in their life with Christ and to form lasting friendships so that all may be “mutually encouraged by one another’s faith.” 

Please note: all activities away from St. Catherine's parish require a permission form.

After serious prayer and deliberation, St. Catherine's is moving Confirmation down to 8th grade. This is a multi-year process, beginning in August 2019. All 7th, 8th, and 9th grade students will be in Year 1 of Confirmation preparation. In order to track your child's placement, please see the chart below.
