Youth Group is our Religious Education program for children 6-12 grade, who are not preparing for First Communion nor Confirmation gather Wednsdays  from 6:30-8:00pm.  

Confirmation preparation is for those students currently enrolled in 9th, 10th, 11th or 12th grade. Students meet on Sunday mornings in English after the 9am Mass and in Spanish after the noon Mass. 

Students need to have been Baptized and have received First Communion to receive Confirmation. If your child has not received First Communion and/or has not been baptized, please speak with Gloria.

We meet in the JPII room, next to the gym.

A famous missionary in the bible, Paul, told us to "fight the good fight." Our prize is "eternal life" or heaven, our home with our God. We will explore our relationship with God and the rich tools the Catholic Church provides to most effectively enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

Our Lady of the Valley asks parents, the primary educators of the faith, to continue discussion about faith and what teens have learned in class.
