This program gives your youth the opportunity to prepare their hearts for the sacraments as we cover the building blocks of our faith. Students are required to register for and attend high school youth group during the 24/25 school year. This will allow the youth to build connections with their peers and grow together in community.  They are also required to complete 12 hours or more of service here at Risen Christ prior to their Confirmation in the spring of 2025.  Finally, each high school teen in the sacrament prep program must attend the Idaho Catholic Youth Conference in March of 2025.
