The schedule includes general sessions and workshops addressing a wide variety of topics as well as opportunities for reconciliation, daily liturgy, and special activities such as concerts, a dance, a comedy club, and thematic village.

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
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 Audra at Audra Kriauciunas

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.
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 Mary Seaman at 317-466-3365.
