ONE EIGHT (1:8) PROGRAM:
Part of the Jr. High program at SJBYG is the 1:8 program for Sacramental Preparation for candidates of Confirmation.
The One Eight program is modeled after Life Teen's Confirmation preparation program. It involves monthly meetings on the third Sunday of the month from 6:30pm-8pm. Parents are asked to participate by volunteering to help at at least one 1:8 night throughout the course of the year. We are in need of food volunteers, chaperones, small group leaders, set up crew, and more! Please let us know if you are interested in helping out in any way for SJBYG's 1:8 program by using any of the contact information below.
February 1:8 Retreats!
The Overnight Confirmation Retreat begins Friday, February 10th at 7:00pm and concludes Saturday, February 11th at 10:00am. The One-day Confirmation Retreat is Saturday, February 25th from 1:00pm-6:00pm. We still need parent volunteers for food, set-up, and overnight chaperoning. We could use your time & talents! Please contact Marie Dooley if you are able to help.
