- The
Middle School R.O.C.K.
program meets on Sunday and Wednesday evening, so families
can choose which night best fits their schedule.
The Sunday night program is larger and tends to
include a greater amount of activities than Wednesdays,
because it is a 2-hour program, as opposed to an hour and a
half on Wednesdays.
- There
are 3 main components to the R.O.C.K.
program:
- Small
Groups -
All students are assigned to a small group for the year with
other students in their grade.
Small groups meet each week for at least 1 hour of
the program time, and are led by a catechist and an aide.
The small groups work through a lesson together each
week and topics include: The Sacraments, Jesus in the New
Testament, Prayer, and Morality.
- Large
Group Time
Part of our time is also spent with all the grades together
as one Large Group. During
this time we hear presentations on different topics, play
games, and compete in activities against other Small Groups.
This time is typically high-energy and engaging for
the students.
- Sunday
Night Live / R.O.C.K.-tivity
During this time, students can choose from various
activities including basketball, ping pong, board games and
other organized activities.
Its a great time for them to build friendships and
have some fun at church!
On Sunday nights, this time is offered once a month
and is led by a team of high school students.
On Wednesday nights, this time is offered for half an
hour every other week and is led by the Middle School
Coordinator and other volunteers.

also offers students several spiritual and social events to
attend throughout the year.
Events include: JOY Youth Rally (October), Advent
Weekend Retreat, Luke 18 Weekend Retreat, SHINE Youth Rally,
Lock-in Nights.
Many of these events are coordinated with other

- Parents:
The success of the Middle School program depends
on your participation.
There are many ways that you can contribute to the
program.
See page 4 for ways you can help.
Fill out
p. 17, the Time and Talent section of the registration
form,
and choose how you can best share yourself.
The
responsibility of teaching the Stewardship way of life is both
challenging and rewarding for parents.
It is by our example, we teach them.
