Life and Faith is not meant to be lived in solitude. Saints Mary and Mathias Youth Ministry firmly belives this and that is why we offer high schools teens the oppurtunity to get involved in YDisciple, our teen small group program. 

What is YDisciple? 

YDisciple is a small group discipleship program. Small groups consist of teens the same age and gender paired with adult mentors. Our small groups provide an enviroment of trust and transperancy where teens are known and loved. Their faith-filled adult mentors apprentice them in the disciplines of a disciple. Small groups draw teens out of a peer-dominated paradigm and call them to maturity through relationships with adults. They strengthen catechesis through testimony, discussion and faith sharing. YDisciple utilizes video lessens about faith and life produced by some of the top Catholic presenters from around the country. YDisciple also allows parents to demonstrate their support by hosting the small group in their homes. 

YDisciple strives to meet what they see as the five fundamental needs of teenagers. 

1. The need to be understood
2. The need to belong
3. The need to be transparent
4. The need to engage in critical thinking about faith and life
5. The need for guidance
