Rite 13 is an Interfaith Youth Group that meets at St. James. The Sunday meeting usually begins with a few moments to discuss events within the lives of the youth for the past week, called “Thorns and Roses”.  Following is a lesson that will, hopefully, enlighten and educate the youth on God, Jesus and the bible.  The group will then participates in a group building activity. 

The leaders and coordinators of Rite 13 place a great deal of importance on making sure that the meetings are not all lecture, reading and reciting but includes a relatively relaxed, playful atmosphere where the members feels comfortable to express themselves without fear or judgment.
