The Catholic Academy for Life Leadership (CALL) is a unique three-year Catholic formation program for high school teens that meets four Saturdays during the school year and offers a rich service component once in the year.

Differing from parish youth groups, CALL forms teens deeply in ethical issues around life and love – both intellectually and spiritually – preparing them to confidently live their faith in today’s culture.

Year 1: Theology of the Body, identity, relationships, vocations
Year 2: Human dignity, pro-life formation, male & female biology
Year 3: Bioethics, gender ideology, college preparation

Students develop a strong Catholic worldview, authentic friendships, leadership skills, and mentorship opportunities — while earning a Leadership Certificate that’s great for college and resumes!
