Y-DiscipleThere are several Y-Disciple groups that meet on a bi-weekly basis. These groups consist of several high school students (separate boys and girls groups) that gather together and meet with two adult mentors. These are not like your average meetings, but they are built around each unique group of friends, where they are at in their faith journey, and what their interests are. The Y-Disciple program provides many different video series, games, and activities that groups can utilize when they would like, all while encouraging them to change it with up with group trips or new activities.
If you would like to learn more, join a group, or be an adult mentor please contact Faith Porter at admin@naccparishes.org. -
