Faith Formation:
The Faith Development program serves the youth in our Parish grades Pre-K/ K-12 to promote life long formation in the Catholic faith through age-appropriate religious education, Sacramental preparation and catechetical leadership training. Along with the support of the Catholic Diocese of Raleigh, St. Jude the Apostle provides a variety of opportunities to grow in knowledge and love of God, His church and the unity in which we worship
Youth Ministry:
Serves the youth of our parish aged 12 through 18 and gather together for catechesis, social and service opportunities and to promote Catholic identity and foster personal and spiritual growth for our youth.
"What is needed today is a church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to enter into dialogue with them and, through his body, which is the church, to propose the possibility of a choice, which will require a commitment of their lives." (Pope John Paul II, World Youth Day 1995, Philippines)
RCIA:
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
This program welcomes any unbaptized adult who have the desire to know more about the Catholic faith and would like to explore the journey toward becoming Catholic. The RCIA class meets weekly for one academic year with parish sponsors and catechists. The Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion are celebrated at the Easter Vigil.
