Dear Families with Students in Junior High Youth Ministry,The Faith Formation staff—with the help of the Holy Spirit—has been brainstorming and planning ways tosafely and whole-heartedly inspire, empower, and transform teens and families to grow in knowledge of their faithas well as create habits in faith practices of gratitude, prayer, Sacraments, and service. We have formulated anextensive safety plan that has been delivered to the Diocese of Joliet as required by our diocesan policy.We want to assure you that we are putting forth our best efforts as we plan for a three-pillar approach toforming the faith of teens in the context of families (that means equipping parents to facilitate faith conversationsand establish or re-commit to faith practices at home).Pillar #1: Video Content Teens and families will have access to online videos with one to two requiredmonthly videos to watch and brie y discuss the message (2-3 questions will be provided). Teens will be askedto submit a response each month—formats will vary and options will be givenPillar #2: Mentors & Small Groups Teens will be partnered with a mentor and a small group of 8-10students and have a 90 minute in-person meeting once or twice each month. These meetings will be held onSunday at 4:45pm-6:15pm or Monday at 6:30pm-8pm. Mentors will be trained and massively supported bystaff to meet teens where they are at and journey with them as they progress through stages of faith. Mentorswill communicate with teens (visible to parents) to connect teens and families with pertinent Scripture, videos,and articles that assist teens in their struggles and guide them in applying their faith.Pillar #3: Gathered Events Teens will have the opportunity to gather with their peers for 7th gradeworkshops, 8th grade Con rmation Prep sessions, and one 8th grade retreat each year. These gatherings willcomply with current guidelines for social interactions. Con rmation Retreat options for 8th grade students arescheduled in October, November, December and March. Options to participate virtually will be available forgathered events to ensure all students can participate face to face or on-lineThe current health and safety guidelines have prompted us to update the format and our approach forJHYM; we are con dent that this mentoring approach will greatly engage and transform teens and their families.If you have any questions, comments, or would like more information about becoming a mentor, pleasecontact Matthew Krumdrick or Jen Lebhardt. We really value your feedback and participation in St. Jude YouthMinistriesBlessingsMatthew 136

Goals of Junior High Youth MinistryOur goals are to:Engage junior high teens and their parents with God, each other in faith conversations, and withtheir St. Jude Parish family in worship, Sacraments, and service.Mentors journey with students as they develop and deepen a personal relationship with Jesusthrough prayer, Scripture, and faith sharing.Empower students to develop faith habits of gratitude, prayer, Scripture, Sacraments, and service.JHYM offers the students meaningful experiences of prayer, worship, scripture, community serviceand catechesis within a relational context.Four Cornerstones of Junior High Youth Ministry1.

Policies for Junior High Youth MinistryFamily Mass Reflections:To assist teens in more fully and actively participating in and understanding Mass as well as how faith is lived athome and in the community, we ask teens to complete at least 7 Family Mass reflections by the end of April.Reflection pages can be downloaded or filled out on-line at http://stjudes.org/ff-reflection-mass-forms/.The 5 pm Saturday Mass and 9 am Sunday Mass is live streamed at http://stjudes.org/live-stream-9am-mass/.Written Reflections on Stewardship Efforts:Teens are asked to complete 6 Stewardship Projects: 2 to Family, 2 to Parish, 2 to Community (roughly equaling20 hours). As well as reflect on, fill out, and turn in one Stewardship Log & Reflection page (per year).Reflection pages can be downloaded at www.stjudes.org/jhym.Student Arrival Policy:All teens must arrive at Franciscan Hall (Door 6) for our monthly Small Group sessions. Any Workshops orConfirmation Prep sessions will enter through the main church doors. Masks must be worn the entire time ofeach indoor gathering.Student Dismissal Policy:Dismissal for all gatherings will be from the St. Jude Church building.Masks:All students, volunteers, and staff are required to wear a mask while in the building. Masks can be the papersurgical type or cloth. Designs are allowed as long as they are appropriate (appropriateness determined by FaithFormation staff). Bandanas and scarves are not permitted. Face shields are not allowed except in specialcircumstances. Masks are worn covering the nose and mouth.Hand Sanitizing:Hand sanitizing dispensers will be available at each entrance. Hand washing will be encouraged when possible.Students will be encouraged to sanitize when entering a classroom, exiting a washroom, and periodicallythroughout the session when needed. Students may bring a capped water bottle to session.

Seats are arranged 3 ft apart inthe classroom spaces. Student seating will be sanitized before and after Faith Formation sessions.

Attendance Policy:We keep accurate attendance records so that we can account for each student. If your student is not able toparticipate in person for any Workshops or Confirmation Preps, we ask that you watch the Live Streamedvideo (also available for viewing on the Vimeo channel afterwards.)Tardiness:Teens are expected to be on time. If a student is not able to attend their regularly scheduled gathering withtheir Small Group, it is essential to let the mentor know in advance.Early Dismissal:Parent/guardian must provide handwritten consent, indicating time and reason for departure, even if a phonecall has been made. The notice should indicate the name of the person picking up the teen as well.Behavior:The behavior of the students attending St. Jude Faith Formation is expected to be exemplary of Christianvalues. Such a code of conduct requires that the student show the proper respect for themselves, others, andany property we may use. St. Jude’s discipline code is one that encourages responsibility and self-discipline,resulting in self-understanding and self-esteem. Therefore it is important that the parents, teachers/ministers,and administration/staff have the same high expectations for the student’s behavior. In order for he or she togrow socially, emotionally, and in faith, your child needs to be in a safe environment in which there areconcerned adults who set firm, consistent, positive limits while also providing warmth and support for theappropriate behavior. Teens are required to adhere to these foundational rules: Confidentiality is a huge element of the small group experience (absolutely no gossiping!).Everything said within the small group is expected to be kept confidential in the small group. The leaderhas been instructed to maintain this at all times unless the leaders know that a teen has expressedsomething that should/will cause the injury of self or others. Respect for mentors, peers, St. Jude church building, school, and property through right choices ingroup or one-on-one interactions.The procedure for disciplinary action will be as follows:1st Offense: The teen will receive a warning from an adult stating that they have not followed theexpectations of proper behavior in the small or large group setting.2nd Offense: The parents will receive a letter stating the problem and the teen will be sent to theFaith Formation Workroom to meet with the Director of Junior High Youth Ministry. Thestudent will not be allowed to return to a Junior High gathering until that letter issigned by a parent and returned to the Faith Formation Office.3rd Offense: The parent will have to attend gatherings with their teen, possibly until the end ofthe year.4th Offense: The parents will find alternative means of faith formation for their teen.

Late Pickup from Faith Formation:We understand that sometimes rides can be delayed due to unexpected circumstances. We will ask that you callin to let us know so that we can adjust the logistics of dismissal and wait with your child until you arrive. Pleasecall 815-463-4261 with your estimated time of arrival. We will need your student's name and their mentor'sname at the time of the call.Dress Code:A teen’s general appearance should not be distracting, immodest, or unkempt. Guidelines: Articles of clothing which display obscene or suggestive phrases or images should NOT be worn. Occult (Satanic/devil worship) clothing or related symbols may not be worn. Clothes that display antisocial, immoral, or illegal behavior are not allowed. Clothing or accessories which promote alcohol, drugs, tobacco products or which promote violence ordeath are not permitted. Uniform equipment is not allowed on premises. (ie, shoulder/knee/shin pads and shoes with cleats) Hats/sunglasses must be removed upon entry to the building. Electronic devices must be turned off. This includes cell phones, ipods, hand-held game devices, etc.Anyone using such a device during a gathering will have to forfeit the item until the end.Special Needs:It is also helpful to the mentor to be informed of any learning, emotional, or behavioral problems. If you did notinform our office of any concerns, please do so. You also are encouraged to talk to the mentor personally. It isimportant that the Director and mentor have this information just as you would inform the principal and teachersof the teen’s day school so we can better serve your teen.Health and Emergencies:At the time of registration, you completed an emergency form for your child/children. If there are any changesto this information, please notify our office. It is important that we are informed of any health problems ormedication that the child is receiving in case your child would require emergency treatment. In an emergency wewill attempt to telephone parents first. If not successful, we will notify the other responsible person you notedon the registration form. The authorization gives us permission to have the child treated if you cannot bereached in an emergency. If any information changes (telephone, address, or insurance), please advise the FaithFormation Office so we can have updated information on your children.Emergency School Closing:If weather or other conditions make it necessary to cancel classes, St. Jude Faith Formation Office is part of theEmergency Closing Center. An announcement will be made on AM radio stations: WJOL (1340), WMAQ(670), WGN (720), WBBM (780), or WLS (890). It will also be announced on the following television channels:CBS (2), NBC (5), WGN (9), FOX (32), and CLTV (37). When New Lenox schools have been closed or haveearly dismissal for inclement weather, we may also cancel faith formation classes that day.Walking or Riding Bikes to Faith Formation:This is highly discouraged due to the darkness when gathering has concluded. If you are unable to drive yourchild to your teen’s event/session please try to arrange a ride with another family.

Tornado Alarms:The tornado alarm at St. Jude is denoted by a rapid succession of short bells signaling an alert situation.When a tornado alarm sounds, students are to: Maintain silence so instruction may be heard. Walk single file to the corridors and sit on the floor as close together as possible (not next to orbelow any glass walls or exits) Place your head between the knees with the hands over head to be protected from falling debris. Wait quietly for all-clear bells to sound.Parent Conferences:Parents may schedule a conference at anytime with their teen’s small group mentor or the Director ofJunior High Youth Ministry.Parish Website:Please take some time to visit our homepage at www.stjudes.org. St. Jude Church has much to offer andthe website will be a useful tool to help your family stay connected to the life of the parish as a whole.Statement of Non-Discrimination:St. Jude Parish admits students of any race, color, sex, or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges,programs, and activities. It does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, nationality, andethnic origin in administration of its policies, supplementary programs, or any other program basedfunction.Procedure to Resolve a Problem or Concern:If a parent has an issue with a small group leader, the parent is to speak with the small group leader. Ifthis issue is not resolved, the parent may meet with the Junior High Director. A meeting will then beset up between the parent, the small group leader, and the Junior High Director. Parents are welcometo take their concerns to the Faith Formation Director if they are still unsatisfied.Amendments to the Handbook:Statements in this book are subject to amendment with or without notice. The Faith Formationprogram will attempt to keep parents informed of all changes as soon as they are able to do so. Somechanges might be made immediately due to unforeseen circumstances.Diocesan Policies/Procedures for VolunteersRequired Information: Following the mandate of the Bishop for our diocese, all persons over 18working with minors (this includes catechists, aides, and volunteers who will be working with the FaithFormation Program) must consent to: Attend a three-hour session of “Protecting God’s Children.” Acknowledge the following forms within your Virtus account:- Standards of Behavior for Those Working with Minors- Policy Regarding Sexual Abuse of Minors rev 2013 A criminal background check (every 5 years).
