Middle School Youth Ministry
This year we will be joining Holy Family in offering the LifeTeen program.
Twice a month, teens can come to Holy Family for Mass where they can experience the depths of God's love through the Word, and the Eucharist. All teens are welcome to gather around the altar as a family to intimately experience the Eucharistic celebration. (Family members are encouraged to attend this mass as well.)
Following the Mass, trained youth leaders and core team members led by Matt Zembrowski, the youth minister at Holy Family, lead the teens deeper into their Catholic faith in the LifeNight experience. Teens grow as a faith community, growing in understanding of what it means to be young and Catholic in the world today.
Although there is no registration fee for this program, we still would like each student to fill out a registration form. Donations are gladly accepted in support of Youth Ministry.
Currently St. Robert Parish is undergoing a restructuring of all its youth ministry programs. All middle school and high school students are encouraged to participate in the monthly InLight Program as part of their ongoing faith formation.

We will be doing something a bit different with grades 6, 7 and 8 in that we will be combining them to create a Middle School Youth Ministry Program. We will be using “Faith Works for Junior High”, a program developed by Dr. Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart right here in Milwaukee and published by Saint Mary’s Press. “Faith Works” integrates Catholic Tradition and the Scriptures in a usable and interesting way.
In addition to learning about our Catholic Faith, young teens will have the opportunity to be directly involved in community building social activities, creative worship experiences as well as direct Christina service activities.
The registration form and the fee formula is the same as the religious education program. The middle school youth ministry schedule will start off the same as the Religious Education Program but may very once outside activities are planned.
For more information, please contact Dan Hull in the Lifelong Faith Formation Office at 332-1164, ext. 3022.
