RNow Discipleship Team Home

Dear young people, like the first disciples, follow Jesus! Do not be afraid to draw near to him, to cross the threshold of his dwelling, to speak with him, face to face, as you talk with a friend (cf. Ex 33:11). Do not be afraid of the”new life” he is offering. He himself makes it possible for you to receive that life and practise it, with the help of his grace and the gift of his Spirit.

Pope St. John Paul II

RNow Youth Discipleship

RNow Youth Discipleship was created to help empower the youth of our Diocese to see that they have a crucial role within their Catholic faith, that is not meant for the future but Right Now.

The RNow Youth Discipleship is a training program born from the former Christian Leadership Institute (CLI). This takes the vision of the Christian Leadership Institute and discipleship training to make a year round model for post-confirmation youth, that will empower their purpose within our Catholic faith, right now. RNow is for youth in 9th-12th grade in the Diocese of Fall River, and  designed to provide opportunities for personal spiritual growth and equip members with skills in leadership, project management, and missionary discipleship. 

The team is made up of youth from all five deaneries. RNow Youth Discipleship will have the opportunities throughout the year to help plan, be a sound board for research and development, facilitate events for younger students, organize peer lead ministry at the parish level, and create a service project opportunity at their schools. Taking the vision of the CLI and mission of missionary discipleship creating a merge called RNow. As the Jubilee year approaches, it is important that we reassess and reinvigorate our efforts to empower, uplift and equip the youth.
