In this Sunday program, high schoolers attend Sunday sessions where they are encouraged to ask questions, grow in their Catholic faith, and nurture Catholic friendships with other students.  Through various presentations, group discussion, and fun, high schoolers are equipped to become lifelong disciples of Christ.

Each semester parents have the option to enroll their child in a one-night retreat, beginning at 5:30pm on a Friday and ending after the 4:30pm Mass on Saturday.
