VCat is the Catechetical Backbone of the Middle School Faith Formation Program.

Link to vCat overview

This program steps away from the “academic” model of  using books and lectures to teach the faith.  In its place the richness and beauty of our Catholic faith will be communicated by well produced videos followed by moderated small group discussions for the teens.

The groups will meet at times and locations that are determined by the Group Facilitator and the group participants.

In short, the “Young Church” will be  invited and assisted to build its own faith community within the larger context of St. Clement’s parish and Saratoga Springs.  More details to come this fall.

Youth Ministry

Contact Joe Boisclair call 584-6122

Link to the Faith Formation Registration Page. Formation and Youth Ministry teams collaborate in helping foster a deeper sense of Christian discipleship in our youth.  A variety of components provide valuable contributions to helping our youth grow to understand, love, and live out their Catholic Faith.  Youth in grades 6-12 are considered to be part of our comprehensive Youth Ministry program.

 

Saint Clement’s FaithYouth in grades  6 & 7 use the Wheeling-Charleston Diocese’s “vCat” as the resource for their Faith Formation sessions. A Social Justice project is an integral component of this program. Youth in 6th & 7th  grade are strongly encouraged to participate in all our Youth Ministry programs and activities.

Youth in grades 8, 9, 10, 11 & 12  are encouraged to participate in a variety of Faith Formation sessions that cover areas such as Scripture, Christian Lifestyles, Vocations, and Moral Development, Understanding Church History and Catholicism, and Catholic Social Teachings.  St. Clement’s uses the YDisciple and Decision Point programs as the backbone of our approach to youth faith formation.  We invite you to click those links and visit their websites to learn more about this approach.

Our approach is fun, we build a youth community in Christ.
