The Rite of Christian Initiation for Teens is a program designed to help prepare high school youth for the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.  This may include one or all of the sacraments depending upon where the teen is on their faith journey. 

RCIT PROGRAM EXPECTATIONS: With the exception of illness, teens are required to be present at all sessions of RCIT. If a teen misses, the parent must contact the Office of Faith Formation to arrange for that session to be made-up. Teens are expected to attend the high school retreat in the winter as part of their preparation.

RCIT SESSIONS: Ballantyne Campus, Sundays from 3:30 to 5pm. A calendar dates will be provided following registration for the upcoming program year.

Our 2022-2023 program enrollment is complete.

General registration for the 2023-2024 programs will open on July 11 at 6 pm through the TEAL BUTTON below.

Registration for Catholic school families is currently open through the RED BUTTON below.

Teens are also encouraged to participate in our high school youth group – information can be found through the ROSETTE BUTTON below.

Thank you for allowing us the privilege of supporting your family through the Sacramental process. If you have any questions, please contact Diane.
