What is GLORY?

"The Glory of God is man fully alive."  St. Irenaeus

 

Glory is the new program designed for St. Cecilia high schoolers. It is based on the philosophy that God rejoices in our individuality and wants us to enjoy life!

 

At Glory events, we’ll talk about aspects of Catholicism that you’ve always wanted to know more about. It will make celebrating sacraments and going to Mass much more exciting. We’ll uncover secret meanings of our liturgy, the mystery of the Eucharist, and how awesome it is to be “full of grace.”

 

With Mary as our model, we’ll also find out how to become better leaders, to work for social justice and the importance of love in our world.  We start out the year talking about sainthood, and we’ll finish with the kingdom of God.  Through monthly “Nights of Glory” and three retreats, we will discover the greatness of our Creator and what it means to be gloriously Catholic and a fully alive teenager.

On this site, you can access all the great resources GLORY has to offer, like what we're doing for this month's 9-12 Youth Group Events or get information on AWESOME RETREATS.  You can find out what is going on in Ninth Grade Religious Education, or Confirmation students can upload important forms.  Even more - you can hear about glorious leadership and service opportunities going on right now for high schoolers. 

All of this helps keep YOU connected so we can make sure St. Cecilia is helping you discover your own, customized and hand-crafted by God, GLORY.

Hope to see you soon!
