Middle School Programs
Grades 6 - 8
Middle School Religious Education (RE)
Middle School Religious Education forms your child in his or her faith knowledge, provides Sacramental formation, and ongoing fellowship throughout the school year. Each grade is divided by sex, and the session is overseen by one or more mentor volunteers (small group leaders). We promote an open-dialogue discussion style, so that your child is formed to think critically rather than merely absorb information.
Our programs for Middle School students include:
Wednesday Evening Faith Formation: This is the core of our Middle School formation programs. This year we’re proud to bring Fraternus (for men) and Fidelis (for women) to Holy Redeemer. These nationally-recognized programs focus on forming people aged 6th grade through adulthood in a life of virtue through small group discussion, witness talks, scripture reflections, and good old fashioned food and fun.
Mini-Retreats and Socials: A few times a year, students have an opportunity to step away from the busy-ness of routine and reflect on how God is working in their lives through a mini-retreat. Socials provide an opportunity to have some fun with your friends in a youth ministry context - invite your friends, especially if they’ve never been to church before!
Confirmation in 7th Grade
Do you have a 7th or 8th grade student who needs to be confirmed? The Confirmation age in the Archdiocese of Seattle was moved to the 7th grade in 2019. Click Here for more information on how to receive this life strengthening Sacrament.
Volunteering: Throughout the year we have a variety of service opportunities for teens - from special events at Holy Redeemer to opportunities to make a difference in our community. Want to get involved? Email Katelyn Greenlee to learn more.
