PURPOSE Nights can be described in four words: welcoming, engaging, structured, and dynamic - All of which are ordered toward helping each middle school youth prepare to receive the sacrament of confirmation. Each night will incorporate large group activities, small group break outs, and time for prayer that not only connects middle school youth with God but with each other.
