6th - 8th GRADE FAITH FORMATION
6th Grade
The 6th Graders will learn about the Old and New Testament from Spirit of Truth, Sacred Scripture. Students will spend this year immersed in God’s Word, and explore how the Bible, written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, records God’s plan of salvation. The 6th Graders meet every Wednesday evening from 6:15pm-7:30pm.
7th-8th Grade
This year our 7th and 8th Graders will use Communion of the Faithful by the Spirit of Truth. Students will learn personal growth: our vocation to love and our responsibilities to God and each other; Morality: conscience formation through prayer and God's gift of an objective moral standard. The 7th and 8th Graders will also use Rooted by Ruah Woods. Rooted, will help students explore scripture, Pope Saint John Paul II’s teaching on Theology of the Body, and their own dignity. Through Rooted, your students will be able to understand what it means to be made in God’s image, begin to see themselves and others as gifts, and grow their own roots and wings in God’s perfect plan.
Saint John’s 7th and 8th grade Faith Formation classes meet every Wednesday evening from 7:00pm-8:30pm from September through May. Our 7th and 8th grade teens meet in gender-specific small groups with two small group leaders.
Each week middle schoolers spend time in the church to pray a decade of the Rosary or other devotions.
