Youth Ministry serves all our high school age teens. Teens who participate in Youth Ministry will be drawn nearer to Christ, experience a Christian community, and grow in and celebrate their faith. |
COVID has changed the way we do Youth Ministry and High School Confirmation at the Catholic Community of Pleasanton. We promise to provide the best Catholic education for your teens as we continue to monitor and navigate through these COVID times. As a community of faith, we are the church. We are bonded together through our faith, no matter the location.

Teens that are preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation will have their classes start on Zoom with some independent work. The Zoom sessions will serve as a way for the teens to discuss the topic of the week, connect with their peers and learn how to execute their faith in their lives. We will resume in person classes as soon as regulations allow.
If a family does not have reliable internet service at home, accommodations will be made.

High School Socials
|
Socials are a great time for teens to get together to enjoy good friends and fun. Socials range from ice skating to movie night to a van hunt. All high school teens are welcome and friends are encouraged to join in as well. These are offered for a nominal fee just to cover the cost of the event.

Teen Leadership Team: Teens come for fellowship and to exercise their Christian Leadership skills on Core Team. This group helps plan and execute service projects, youth group and social events. Retreat teams are formed throughout the year and teens who are confirmed are encouraged to join retreat teams as leaders. Teen retreat leaders must be currently enrolled in and regularly attending youth ministry classes.
Retreats: Retreats are offered throughout the year and are a great way for teens to unplug from their busy lives and reconnect with God and each other. Some retreats are specifically offered for teens preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation while others will be offered for any high school student interested in attending. |
Liturgy & Worship: When restrictions are lifted and a full Mass schedule returns we will celebrate a youth Mass geared to teens with teens as the primary ministers: lectors, greeters, ushers & choir. Youth Reconciliation services are scheduled during Advent & Lent.
Teen Confirmation Catechists: High school youth who are confirmed are encouraged to become confirmation catechists. Teen catechists are paired with an adult to teach classes to teens preparing to be confirmed. All teen confirmation catechists must be con-currently enrolled in and regularly attending youth ministry classes. Justice, Service and Solidarity: CCOP Teens love to do service and one of the ways we do this is through group service projects. These range from making blankets for the veterans at the Veteran’s Hospital in Livermore to serving at St. Anthony’s Dining Room in San Francisco. These are open to all high school teens and teens are encouraged to invite friends outside our parish to participate as well. |
