What to Know About Junior High Youth Group
Junior High Youth Group is the name we give to seventh and eighth grade religious education. The regular format is different from K-6 RE. We meet in a large group for object lessons and activities and then break into small groups for discussion of the day’s topics. We then conclude each session in church with a prayer service. We also meet only on the SECOND and FOURTH weeks of the month.
A fee of $130 per child is separate from the RE fee.
When and Where are the Sessions?
Please Note: By Order of the Archdiocese of Newark, IN PERSON instruction is currently prohibited. Registration is for the virtual option only until further notice.
Due to COVID-19 We Have Planned Classes 3 Possible Ways:
Regular Class Method:
Classes will meet as normal if the Governor and Cardinal Archbishop so direct.
Social Distancing Method:
In person meetings will happen monthly, on the day you choose. Groups will be limited to 20 students, and will be spaced according to CDC guidelines for class activities and prayer. Tuesday classes will not be offered, in order that we may have adequate time to clean the spaces used for the next classes. These classes will be supplemented with online work, (which will be minimal.)
Virtual Meetings:
If we are not permitted to meet at all, a virtual option with small group discussion through Google Meet will be offered monthly, during the time slot for which you register. Further registration for online materials may be required. Information will be e-mailed prior to classes.
Attendance
Regular attendance is expected, whether in person or online, along with respectful behavior. More than 1 “absence” (work not turned in) will result in an incomplete year. Make-up work is available for missed classes. With virtual instruction, assignments will be sent and completion will be expected by the end of the month. 2 lessons per month will be sent out and consist of an instructional video and “Google Form” worksheet. If permitted later in the year, we hope to gather for some group activities as well.
Please watch your e-mail for updates.
Completion of classes is required for Confirmation Preparation in High School.
