What's With The Point System?Teens will be getting points for participating at Youth Group, Teen Holy Hour, Rosary, and Saturday Service in order to incentivize them work towards getting a free trip next summer or to meet their Confirmation Requirements (700 pts for 8th grade, 300 for 7th grade, excluding VBS) or they participate in healthy competition through faith related activities. All Youth Group activities are worth 5 points for every 20 minutes, meaning that every Youth Group session is worth 20 points, every Teen Holy Hour and Service Hour is worth 15 points, every zoom rosary is worth 8 points.
