Topics for Discipleship Team Meetings
Each meeting throughout the year will focus on a particular topic related to the Catholic faith. These topics will be chosen based on what Discipleship Team members want to know about. Below, please list at least 3 things that you would like to know more about when it comes to our Catholic faith.

Topics can range all over the place. Examples can be theological topics, Scripture, how to pray, forms of prayer, sacred art or music, apologetics, how to live out your faith in everyday life, etc. There is no wrong answer here!

3. Diocesan Middle School Youth Rally – Date TBD

Discipleship Team members will have the option to put evangelization skills to work by assisting in planning and facilitating of some Diocesan events. Below are potential opportunities that Discipleship Team members can help with. 

Diocesan Middle School Retreat Team
The Diocesan Middle School Retreat is a weekend retreat for 6-8th graders on October 28-30th at Prindle Pond in Charlton, MA. The retreat team would help in planning and facilitating the retreat, leading small groups, leading games/activities, and (optional) giving a witness.

Diocesan Middle School Amplify Nights
Middle School Amplify are periodic "mini-rallies" for 6-8 graders on a few Sunday evenings throughout the year at various locations around the Diocese. The Amplify teams would help with leading fun activities and small groups. At each Amplify there will be a teen witness by a Discipleship Team member. 

Diocesan Confirmation Retreat Team
Throughout the year the Diocese offers one-day Confirmation retreats. The retreat team would help to lead a small group and give a witness (optional).
**Those who help with Confirmation retreats must already be confirmed by the time of the retreat itself.
