WHAT'S NEW?
"Rite 13" (Middle School
Youth Group)
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Graders had a great year in "Rite 13,"
which focuses on youth ages 11 to 13 and functions as the Junior
High Youth Group. Tthis class is a young adult formation program
that guides the building of friendships in the church and
celebrates God's evolving gift of manhood and womanhood.
Highlights included a Rite 13 liturgy in May and an overnight
Appalachian Mountain Club hike in August. Contact the Rev.
Carolyn Coleman for more information.
"J2A" (High School Youth Group)
Journey to Adulthood is our High School youth group and Sunday
School class. We meet weekly on Sundays as well as for special
events. Watch this year for planning for a Pilgrimage and an Urban
Experience Trip!
Our highschoolers
are active as vergers,
acolytes, leaders of children’s church, and in numerous other ways
in the life of the cathedral. Their compassion for ministry is
well illustrated in Kaitlin Cough, who following graduation from
High School took time off in order to go to Africa to serve in an
orphanage. Contact the Rev. Carolyn Coleman for more information.
Diocesan Youth Events
Many Diocesan youth activities take place for both middle and highschoolers over
the year. Highlights were the Diocesan Youth Event
held at the cathedral for high school youth from around the State
of Maine and Vocare, a retreat for young adults from around New
England, also held here. Many of our youth attended and one of our
youth served as a counselor at Camp Bishopswood. We are thrilled
that Cathedral youth and young adults have taken leadership and
actively participated in these and other diocesan event.
