Youth

Middle & High School Ministries

 We provide opportunities for 6th – 12th grade students to encounter Jesus Christ and His Church while engaging in activities that challenge them to grow as disciples. We’ve created an environment where trusted adult leaders and peer ministers walk alongside our youth and teens, helping them to navigate the challenges of middle and high school while encouraging them to be all that God created them to be.

Becoming Catholic for Teens

For 2,000 years the Catholic faith has been handed down from one generation to next, starting with Jesus Christ passing the faith to the Twelve Apostles. The Catholic Church welcomes all desiring full communion with Christ’s Church. RCIT is a journey of study, exploration, and faith-sharing for those seeking to enter and be in full communion with the Catholic Church. 

RCIT is for teens who:

  • Have not been baptized.
  • Were baptized in another Christian tradition.
  • Were baptized Catholic and have not received the Sacraments of Reconciliation, First Holy Communion, and Confirmation.

Contact Chloe Elder at chloee@stmarkhr.org or (720) 348-9700 ext. 204.
