Youth Ministry
St. Pius Youth Group

The St. Pius Youth Program continues to be very active all year long!!! The Youth is divided into the Senior High Program (grades 8-12) and the Junior High Program (grades 5-7). The Senior High Youth meet twice a month on Sunday evenings throughout the year from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the Gym. The Junior High Youth meet 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. in the Youth Room. Also during each month, there are social events, gym nights, movie nights, scavenger hunts, service projects, and more. The Youth Program emphasized getting the youth involved in all aspects of parish life as well as trying to build a sense of community amongst the youth themselves. Information on Youth events can always be found in the weekly bulletin.

The Youth Group receives considerable parent and mentoring involvement. The Youth Program is team run benefiting from the wisdom of quite a number of adults, who participate actively in the program. Adults help facilitate discussion on a number of issues that pertain to Youth including youth responsibility and morality.

The Youth Program also occasionally brings in its own well-known speakers to do youth-oriented missions. These will be announced well in advance in the weekly bulletins.

Teen Confirmation
Confirmation at St. Pius is for those teens in Grades 8th through 12th and is offered bi-annually (every two years). The program begins in September and continues until the Archbishop's visit usually in early May. The program kicks off with a Parent/Teen Orientation Night in mid-to-late September. The Program consists of Sunday evening meetings twice a month from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., monthly Youth Masses, a weekend retreat, several special events, service projects and involvement in the St. Pius Youth Program. The cost is $100.00 per youth and covers all of the above activities (the retreat cost represents two-thirds of the above cost). Registration in the parish is strongly encouraged prior to this meeting and is a requirement for any teen wishing to be confirmed.
Youth Choir
The St. Pius Youth also have a Youth Choir that sings at Youth Masses throughout the year. At these Youth Masses, the teens usually serve as lectors, ushers, altar servers, greeters and decorators (and receive appropriate training for each ministry). The Youth Choir meets on Wednesday evenings, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Youth Room.
