A vital aspect of all our ministry to youth are the Peer Leaders. The Peer Leaders help engage our confirmation candidates by acting as mentors and facilitators during our weekly Confirmation sessions, our annual retreats, and at 4:12 youth nights.

Baptism for Teens
High School
We have a loving and welcoming process at Padre Serra through which high school teens are prepared to be received into the Church. Infants and very young children are baptized based on the faith of their parents, godparents and the community. But teens, capable of having a faith of their own, are initiated through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) process, adapted for children.

Youth Confirmation
High School
Two year process ​
Teens participate in Sunday Sessions (11:00am - 2:00pm) for half the year then they participate in a weekly hands-on ministry of their choosing for the other half of the year.
​
Additionally, large and small group faith sharing, community events, retreats and service experiences all culminate in receiving the sacrament and living a Catholic life. ​
