Rite of Christian Initiation for Teens
RCIT is a journey for teenagers (12-17) who are interested in becoming Catholic or who have not yet received all of the Sacraments of Initiation. It provides a space to explore the Catholic faith, ask questions, grow in relationship with Jesus Christ and discover life in the Church.
The journey includes prayer, Scripture, catechesis, conversation and participation in parish life, with teenagers accompanied by members of our parish community.
Each teenager is supported according to their circumstances as they prepare for the Sacraments of Initiation. To find out more please click HERE
Our 2026 RCIT Programme will commence on Friday, October 9th.
