Welcome to JSAY! This ministry is all about forming our 7th and 8th grade students in the faith. We meet every Wednesday from 6:00-7:30 in the Malinowski Center to talk about Jesus, the Faith, the Church, and more!

My name is Becka Landry and I have been leading JSAY for about a year and a half now. I have had such an incredible experience leading these young people closer to Christ. Every semester brings a new theme, a new curriculum, and a new set of youth I have the opportunity to love.

We teach the Faith using engaging speakers, dynamic videos, fun games, and more! The main goal is that every youth grows in their faith every year, and so do our volunteers. A typical youth night includes a game, a talk, some form of prayer (either Adoration, praise and worship, or something creative), and small groups.

Our small groups allow the youth to dive deeper into their faith by sharing with their leaders or by asking questions. It has been proven time and time again that youth retain more memory of the Faith when they are given the ability to process it within small groups. Want to come check it out? Come by any time!

Check out the video for our first series this semester, Episode I: The Spirit Awakens!

This semester, I am teaching on the Sacraments. I have decided to go about this in the form of a series-based ministry, where I simply think of the semester as three separate parts, rather than one massive curriculum. This has already helped with my ability to minister, and with the Small Group Leaders' initiative! Our first series is about the Sacraments of Initiation, Baptism, Eucharist, and Confirmation!
