Encounter Information

Encounter is the High School Youth Group at Christ the Redeemer. We have games, engaging messages, time in small groups, and prayer. We meet Sunday evenings in the Redeemer Activity Center from 6:45-8:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. and there is food for those who attend the 5 p.m. Mass. They will also be split into grade and gender specific groups throughout the night. We are not allowed to offer Home-based Catechesis for Confirmation I or II as per diocesan policies. All preparation must be done by the parish. Exceptions to this rule are only offered to Confirmation I students who, if attending a Catholic school, are excused from class time but must attend a retreat and are encouraged to attend classes to stay connected with the community.

Encounter is open to all students grades 9-12. Whether you have been confirmed or not, if you are in high school this is for you!

We gather each week as a large group in the Redeemer Activity Center. We have music and a time of fellowship to visit with each other. Afterward, we look at upcoming events, share a message, pray together, and have time in small groups. Each week we seek to connect and talk about what God is doing in our life and learn more about His love and desires for us.

*Note that we will most likely modify our normal format due to COVID-19. We are in the process of having our modifications approved and will notify parents when plans are set. We have developed additional plans for the various circumstances that may arise due to COVID-19.

At Encounter we have students from all the schools in Cy-Fair Independent School District as well as many from Catholic schools and those who are homeschooled. We also have some of the coolest adults around who come each week to share and be a part of our Youth Ministry.

Encounter is a great place to come and have an encounter. Faith is an encounter with the person of Jesus Christ. Whether it is through the message shared, a conversation with a core team member, or another high school student, we come each Sunday to have an encounter with Christ. Come to be fed. Come and see. Come to Encounter.
