L'alto: High School

Grades 9 – 12
On Earth, we are simply pilgrims on a journey, a journey to experience the heights of relationship with God and the fullness of life.

All teens in grades nine through twelve are invited to live an adventurous life, a courageous life—the Christian life. L’alto: High School provides a powerful experience of Christian community through shared life, prayer, formation, and mission. Inspired by Acts 2:42, the four pillars of Dominican life, and the magnanimous life of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, L'alto: High School cultivates time and space for teens to become who God has created them to be and to set the world on fire for love of Christ.
What is L'alto?

L'alto: High School Overview

Our L'alto: High School program is for ninth through twelfth graders from all walks of life. We gather for weekly meetings (generally on Sundays from 7 to 9 p.m.) and host periodic social events marked by Christ-centered community, prayer, and purpose. There is no cost to attend the weekly meetings, however, there is a cost for retreats and additional outings. (Costs vary based on the venue and activity and may require advance registration.)

Program Elements & Session Times

L'alto: High School consists of large and small group experiences of shared prayer, communal life, clear and relevant teaching, and opportunities to live the apostolate.​

  • Large Group & Small Group Sessions: Every Sunday during the school year (September 10, 2023–May 5, 2024, except holidays) from 7 to 9 p.m. at St. Gertrude Church
  • Other Small Group Sessions: Collaborate with the coordinator of high school ministry to build a small group with other teens that will meet on a different day and/or time during the week
  • Retreats and outings throughout the year​
