Outcry Class Schedule 2019-2020

Outcry is intended to help high school students connect more deeply with God by encouraging them to ask hard questions as they wrestle with the daily practice of faith so that they can grow into a more firmly grounded and personally meaningful spiritual life. The program is designed to invite thought as we build a welcoming community where teens can be themselves and feel at home.

The center of Outcry is the Sunday evening gatherings from 6 PM-7:30 PM following the 5 PM Mass during the school year. There is a small group meeting on Wednesday from 7 PM-8:30 PM that expands on the topic presented on Sunday. Students may attend one or both sessions.

We offer service, social and retreat activities each year based on interest and volunteer help. Your ideas are welcome! We also welcome and need volunteers all year as catechists, assistants and chaperones. Parent partnership in this ministry is indispensable and parents are always welcome at any of our classes or events.

If you can volunteer even a small amount of time to help our ministry, please email Annie Bullock at outcry@emmausparish.org or call 512-261-8500 X 303.

Preparation for Confirmation is supplemental to the regular faith formation program. Candidates for confirmation must:

1. In High School and be at least 14 years of age.
2. Complete a minimum of 2 consecutive years faith formation prior to receiving Confirmation.  The second year may be concurrent with confirmation preparation.
3. Complete all additional requirements for Confirmation including participation in a confirmation retreat, 3 Confirmation workshops, and a service day (at Emmaus). Attendance at all events is mandatory.
4. Submit all relevant forms and documentation.

• If your student is interested in being confirmed in 2020, please register for Confirmation Prep Year 2. There is no cost, but there will be a fee for the retreat. Concurrent enrollment in Outcry is expected and is a separate registration. All registrations can be found in CourseStorm at http://emmaus-catholic-parish.coursestorm.com/
