EYC (Episcopal Youth Community):
EYC is an opportunity for our young people, in grades 6-12, to come together for fellowship, fun, and prayer. We gather twice a month on Sunday evenings 5:30-7:00 p.m. See our events page for dates.
Rite-13:
Throughout the year youth in grades 6-8 explore their faith and begin to make it their own. Middle school youth, with their Rite-13 leaders, participate in a variety of activities, group discussion and relationship building. A high point of the program is the Rite-13 liturgy and celebration for young people the year they turn 13. Class is held Sunday mornings 9:00-9:45 a.m.
J2A (Journey to Adulthood Program):
The centerpiece of the J2A years is preparation to take a pilgrimage. Youth in grades 9-10, leaders, and parents work together to select a pilgrimage site, prepare, and raise funds for the journey. J2A youth also learn about the beliefs of the church and grow in faith. Class is held Sunday mornings 9:00-9:45 a.m.
YAC (Youth Active in the Church):
High school youth grades 11-12, prepare to make their confirmation decision. YAC includes a mentoring program where young people meet with faithful parishioners to discuss their questions and potential doubts in an informal atmosphere. Class is held Sunday mornings 9:00-9:45 a.m.
College Connections:
