The Bridge - Middle School

- The Bridge program is built on the belief that children need continued faith formation; there should not be a gap between junior high & high school. Bridge offers children the opportunity to share & grow in their faith with their peers. In 2018, a study was conducted at the Center for Applied Research at Georgetown. Out of those surveyed, 74% stopped identifying as Catholic between 10-20 years of age, with a median age of 13. This time is crucial, as students are just beginning to make decisions about their values, morals & priorities. Attending Bridge will help children meet other Catholic students & build the foundation for a healthy Catholic Christian Community. We want our students to recognize God’s abundant love & nurture a strong relationship with Jesus.

Why the Bridge?
- Why the Bridge?
  
  Attending Bridge will help the students to meet other Catholic students build the foundation for a healthy Catholic Christian community. We want them to recognize that God is with them and there for them and to help nurture a strong relationship with God.
  
  We offer both large and small group programs which include prayer, service projects, games, fellowship, etc. all while learning about our amazing Catholic faith.
  
  Large/ Small Group Meetings
  
  Prayer
  
  Breakout groups
  
  Bible study
  
  Service projects
  
  Fellowship
  
  Games
  
  Retreats
  
  Parents will also find a support group steeped in Catholic thought to help navigate the potentially rocky years ahead.
  
  We often get asked why parents are encouraged to attend and it is because they are the most influential example of faith to their children. It’s not as much about what you say as it is about what YOU do that will impact your children.
  
  As Saint Francis tells us, “Preach the Gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words.”

  The following forms are needed in order to complete your 2020-2021 Bridge Program registration
  Empowering God's Children Permission Form
  St. Lawrence Martyr is committed to the safety & well-being of our students. There are daily reports of child abuse and we recognize the importance to “empower” our young people with the knowledge to protect themselves and others from harm. In January, we will be presenting the Empowering God’s Children and Young People Safety Program, provided by the Archdiocese of LA. It is a way to teach children through classroom activities the different ways to maintain personal safety. The lessons given are based on principals of catechesis so students remember they are always loved by God.
  
  Bridge Media Release Form (Non Commercial)
  Because we are participating in virtual learning this year, your child will be interacting with the class online. Please complete the form and submit it to the Parish Office.
