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 connect with: at 317-466-3365 or

TIME AND TALENT OPPORTUNITIES
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 Work Camp is a week-long mission trip for 13-20 year old teens. Adult chaperones are needed to help with all these trips.
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, Matthew. All adult parishioners are invited and encouraged to take part in these programs.YOUTH COUNCIL
What is it?The Parish Youth Council 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. Council members would be expected to attend regular meetings to brainstorm and discuss the Youth Ministry 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.
