Rite 13 for Middle School Aged Youth
Our Rite 13 class begins anew every two years as a new group of our young
people starts out on the Journey to Adulthood.This curriculum is based on the following two
assumptions.
1. Manhood and womanhood are free gifts from God.
2. Adulthood must be earned.
We combine liturgy ( A celebration of Manhood and Womanhood) to celebrate with the entire congregation the celebration of their journey and their rite of passage as they move from childhood towards adulthood. This is combined with classroom time exploring scripture, life and service.
Friday movie and pizza nights are held once each month.
We encourage all of our youth to fully participate in Diocese wide events to explore the wide range of opportunities and leadership experiences that are available. Christophany, Middle school Retreat, and Peer Ministry Training are offered to our Middle school Youth.
