Who We Are
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Youth (RCIY) accompanies youth and young adults aged 16 to 23 who are exploring the Catholic faith and preparing to receive the Sacraments of Christian Initiation—Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist.
Through prayer, formation, faith sharing, and the support of the parish community, RCIY helps young people grow in their relationship with God, deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith, and become lifelong disciples of Jesus Christ.
Our Mission
