Registration is Open

                    

Who: Grades 7-12. Rise is for 7th and 8th graders. Encounter is for 9th-12th covers Confirmation I and Confirmation II (students in 12th grade cannot register for Confirmation I as it is a two-year process). Camino is for 11th and 12th graders that have already been confirmed (Post-Confirmation teens).

 If you have a 6th-grade student, they can attend Rise in addition to their R.E. class (not instead of). Please see below for information about each program. 

Cost: $85 per child for Rise and Encounter. There is a $30 Sacramental fee for Confirmation 2. $25 per child for Camino. This is separate from fees for other faith formation groups (i.e. RE) Late registration will cost an additional $15 per child.

• We will not be able to guarantee your child stays with the same small group if you sign them up during late registration. We have had numerous feedback from our students that they enjoy staying in the same small group year to year. We want to keep it that way but often can't make it happen if you don't register them on time.

Two Part Registration Process

Step 1: Register your child online by clicking the link below that says "Student Registration." Fill out the form completely and add as many students as you have in grades 7-12.

Step 2: For returning students, all paperwork from the previous year is due August 16th. For new students 8th grade and above, we just need a copy of your child's baptismal certificate. 7th grade students do not need to turn anything in.  Questions on this? Check out the FAQ

Baptism certificates: For 8th grade and above - We need a paper copy (original not needed). Please turn the paper copy into the main parish offices (near the Chapel) with "Youth Ministry" on it. If Encounter/Rise has started, you can send it with your child to turn in at check-in.

All students in 7th and 8th-grade seeking faith formation at CtR would attend Rise, which takes place from 7-8:30 p.m. on Wednesdays. They will be all together in a large group and split into smaller groups each week.  There is also a Home-based Catechesis option.
 

All students in Confirmation I or Confirmation II would attend Encounter (9-11th grade) which takes place from 6:45 - 8:30 p.m. on Sundays. They will be split into small groups by grade, school and biological sex. 

We are not allowed to offer Home-based Catechesis for Confirmation I or II as per diocesan policies. All preparation must be done by the parish. Exceptions to this rule are only offered to Confirmation I students who, if attending a Catholic school, are excused from class time but must attend a retreat and are encouraged to attend classes to stay connected with the community. 

Camino is a program of Christ the Redeemer Youth Ministry for high school students who have already been confirmed  (9-12th Grade) and are ready to go deeper. Camino consists of small groups who meet weekly to pray, share, study and go deeper in their faith. All the Camino groups will come together once a month to pray, share, and for fellowship. They meet as a small group at a time and day that works for them. We have small groups that meet at different times Sunday-Thursday. Groups do a variety of different things depending on the small group.
