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.

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.
