Youth Confirmation
The 2025 youth confirmation class, with Seattle Archbishop Paul D. Etienne.
Youth confirmation, for students in grades 7-12, is a two-year process. In Year 1, students must enroll in faith formation classes or attend a Catholic school. After completing that requirement, students are eligible to enroll in Year 2 confirmation classes.
Youth Ministry Group (Edge/LifeTeen)
Edge and LifeTeen are our youth ministry faith formation groups for students in grades 6-12.
These programs are for you if:
- You have already been confirmed or
- You are not currently interested in preparing for confirmation.
Youth Mission Trek
During the summer of 2025, Mission Trekkers from St. Vincent traveled to Tijuana, Mexico (left) to help build a house for a family in need.
At right, Mission Trekkers served farmworker families at a food bank in Whatcom County.
Mission Trek is a hands-on program for students in grades 6-12 who want to actively grow and live out their faith.
The Mission Trek program is a year-long commitment that combines service, faith, sharing, community building and fundraising. The program culminates in a week-long Catholic service learning experience during the summer.
