Time and Talent Opportunities

Our Youth Ministry develops and coordinates age appropriate experiences to reinforce the Catholic values being fostered in the  youth of St. Pius X Parish. In order to succeed, the Youth Ministry needs the active participation of adult parishioners to assist in the various youth ministry programs.

Please review our calendar for opportunities. If you have a gift of time, talent, or treasure that could enhance the SPX Youth Ministry, please contact Kaitlyn Blandford. All adult parishioners are invited and encouraged to take part in these programs.

YOUTH COMMISSION

What is it?
The Parish Youth Commission is a group of parishioners interested in the formation and development of the Youth Ministry Program here at St. Pius X Parish. These parishioners would be from all different ages and backgrounds, all united in service towards the Youth. Commission members would be expected to attend regular meetings to brainstorm and discuss the vision for the Youth Minsitry program, as well as, provide advice for the Youth Minister. Members would also act as ambassadors to the parish at large to raise awareness of the needs of the Youth and identify parishioners who have a calling for Youth Ministry.
 
How do I sign up?
If you are interested, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. at 317-466-3365. 
Our Mission is to help our youth encounter Christ wherever they are and to be Christ to those they encounter.

Do you have a craft that you would be willing to demonstrate to our youth? We are currently seeking parishioners who have a knack for working with their hands that would love to demonstrate their craft to our EDGE and Life Teen students. Past crafts that our parishioners have shared are woodworking, and knitting/crochet. If interested, contact Kaitlyn at This email address is being protected from spambots.

HIGH SCHOOL MISSION TRIPS

High School Summer Trips

Youth Ministry participates in many summer trips. Nazareth Farm in West Virginia is a week-long mission trip for 16-18 year old teens. Catholic Heart Workcamp is a week-long mission trip for 13-20 year old teens. Adult chaperones are needed to help with all these trips.

Save the date for NCYC Fully Alive which will be held from November 16 - 18, 2023, in Indianapolis. This is a powerfully unique three-day experience of prayer, community, evangelization, catechesis, service, and empowerment for Catholic teenagers (of high school age) and their adult chaperones.   NCYC flyer

Confirmation

This third Sacrament of Initiation celebrates the gift of the Holy Spirit coming down on our candidates. The Holy Spirit gives us the knowledge and courage to do what we can't learn from school or our extracurricular activities including, making decisions that will change our lives or guiding a friend through their struggles. Those interested in learning more about the Holy Spirit can begin preparation in the Fall, starting in 10th grade or above, and will be confirmed in the Spring of the same year. The Youth Ministry Office coordinates this preparation and is looking for speakers willing to show how the Holy Spirit is working in their life. If you have any questions or would like to help with this process, please call Kaitlyn Blandford at 317-466-3365 or email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  Registration for 2023-2024 is now available via the link here: Confirmation Registration 2023-2024
