Reach Out for Christ (ROC)

Reach Out for Christ is our Junior High faith formation program for 7th and 8th graders. ROC provides a welcoming and consistent space for students to build community, engage with Scripture, and reflect on how faith connects to everyday life.

Throughout the fall, students participate in community-building activities, service projects, scripture study, guided discussions, and prayer. These elements are designed to help teens recognize Jesus at work in their lives and grow in their understanding of what it means to live as a disciple.

ROC invites students to take faith seriously while asking questions, listening to one another, and learning how to respond to God in both ordinary and meaningful moments of daily life.

Tuesdays at SSJ Cathedral

Tuesday evenings bring ROC, High School Youth Group, Sacred Voices Youth Choir, Open Courts, and Boy Scouts together on our Cathedral campus. Teens can take part in more than one activity as their schedules allow.

Tuesday Schedule

High school teens are welcome to arrive at 6:00 PM for Open Courts before Youth Group begins.
