SJYM Middle School
Our 6th-8th grade group meets on Tuesdays from 6:30-8:30 pm in the Upper Room. We offer dynamic programming, time in prayer, and lots of fun. Our nights allow plenty of time to speak with teens about where they are in their walk of faith, questions they have about life and Church teaching, and their prayer lives. We make regular use of prayer practices like lectio divina and praise and worship, and we strive to joyfully model a life of prayer to all who come through our doors. As the middle schoolers gather, we play games, listen to music, eat food together and grow in community. It’s a wonderful night for all, and your 6-8th graders are always welcome to join us!
Encounter
Every first Tuesday, we cancel SJYM Middle so that all of our middle schoolers, their parents, our high schoolers, and all parishioners are free to join us for Encounter. The first Wednesday of every month is Encounter, an opportunity for Adoration, praise and worship, a talk, and confessions. All ages are welcome! See more information here.
Retreat
Our primary retreat is the 8th grade Luke 18 retreat, which is the transition point from SJYM Middle to High School and a great opportunity to prayerfully prepare for the Sacrament of Confirmation. All 8th graders, whether they are part of the parish or school or not, are invited and highly encouraged to join us for this weekend retreat!
