Welcome to RCIT/RCIC!

Rite of Christian Initiation for Teens/Children

Based on RCIA, RCIT and RCIC are specialized classes for teens, 'tweens', and young children developed by the Catholic Church for prospective converts to Catholicism who are above the age of infant baptism. Candidates are gradually introduced to aspects of Catholic beliefs and practices.

PREP's RCIT classes are for children in 7th through 11th grade; RCIC classes are for children in 3rd through 6th grade.

The program is designed to educate children in the Catholic Faith and prepare them for the sacraments of Baptism, Reconciliation, First Eucharist, and Confirmation. Whether your family is just entering the Church, returning to the practice of the Catholic Faith, or delayed your child’s sacramental preparation, all are welcome.

RCIT meets once a week on Tuesday evenings for 1 hour in a small group setting. RCIC meets on Sunday morning for 1 hour after the 9:30 AM Mass. A one-time fee of 125$/child covers books and other materials.

- RCIT for Fall 2024 begins Tuesday, October 1 from 6:00-7:00 PM in the church office (same building as Kernan Center).
