Catechesis is a responsibility of the entire Christian community. Faith formation has never been more important.
This should not be the work of catechists and priests alone, but of the whole community of the faithful. The Christian community follows the development of catechetical processes, for children, young people and adults, as a duty that involves and binds it directly. (GDC 220)
A fully Christian community can exist only when a systematic catechesis of all its members takes place and when an effective and well developed catechesis of adults is regarded as the central task of the catechetical enterprise. (ACCC, no. 25)

Small groups
High School Youth Ministry
Exciting Changes in Youth Ministry!
We’re thrilled to announce a new chapter in High School Youth Ministry at St. Philip Neri and Holy Name Church! This fall, we’re moving from our traditional large group gatherings to a small group model that meets in mentor’s homes. These weekly gatherings will offer a more personal, faith-filled environment where young people can build stronger connections with their peers and grow deeper in their relationship with Christ.
Small groups will begin meeting the week of September 14th, 2025, and will continue weekly throughout the school year. A few large group gatherings will also be planned throughout the year.
Sign up by August 17th, 2025, to reserve your spot! Use the link below to register.
Let’s grow together in faith, friendship, and discipleship!
Little Flowers Girls Club
A Fun & Faith-Filled Catholic Club for Girls -Little Flowers Girls’ Club® is a vibrant Catholic program where young girls grow in virtue, friendship, and faith.

Each meeting includes hands-on activities, crafts, prayer, and engaging lessons focused on a different virtue, inspired by the example of a saint. Through Little Flowers, girls not only grow in their Catholic identity but also form meaningful friendships that nurture their hearts and souls.
