The foundation for our youth events is The Journey to Adulthood, a parish based program of spiritual formation for young people. During the summer months, our young people do not meet regularly, but enjoy occasional outings and activities. Our youth are also involved in parish and diocesan programs such as "New Beginnings".

Christian formation is a lifelong process; The Journey to Adulthood gives young people a firm foundation on which to build. J2A is the heart of the entire Journey to Adulthood program—it blends action and contemplation in teaching young people faithful living. To prepare them for adulthood, they learn six basic skills:

·         active listening

·         negotiation

·         assertion

·         research / information management

·         partnership

·         leadership

The Journey to Adulthood balances Bible study, prayer, and both serious and playful activities to nurture the whole person during the treacherous passage from childhood to adulthood.
