Annunciation 

YDisciple is our preferred program for faith formation for our high school students. YDisciple is a process for youth ministry and faith formation that empowers Annunciation to bring the vision of the New Evangelization to life through a relational, relevant, and parent-driven comprehensive approach. It is a program based on small group discipleship to teens. Groups consist of 5-9 students and 1 or more mentors. We have found intentional small group discipleship is a huge blessing to our teens! 

Beginning in 9th-grade, teens are split into small groups of friends and assigned to a mentor (ideally two). YDisciple groups meet on Mondays from 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm or virtually via ZOOM on Wednesdays from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm. Each meeting consists of:

1. Connect (opening activities)
2. Discuss (watch videos and discuss content)
3. Commit (review discussion and set a "challenge" for the next meeting - this is usually based after one of the Disciplines of a Disciple)

YDisciple is also referred to as Confirmation Prep Year A and Confirmation Prep Year B, so you may see these terms used interchangeably. This year we are excited to begin in-depth Scripture study. Students will begin the year with a high-level Bible Timeline overview then Year A students will dive into the Book of Matthew while Year B students will do a study on the Holy Spirit and then begin direct preparation for Confirmation. Here is this year's schedule:

If these two options (in-person and virtual) for high school formation do not work, we do have the ability to offer a 100% online asynchronous program. Please contact Melissa Weisenburg at annunciationre@gmail.com for information on that program. Our goal is to make sure we have options that work for all of our families and we are happy to work with you as you raise your children in our beautiful Catholic faith.

See the Confirmation Page for the schedule for Direct Prep for Confirmation which happens in the Spring Semester of 10th-grade (or after 2 years of high school formation).
