High school youth from St. Boniface Parish, St. Meinrad Parish and St. Francis Parish are invited to enroll and participate in parish-based Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) Programs and Activities.
Youth group activities include the YDisciple Program, also known as ENCOUNTER for St. Francis Parish, IMPACT sessions (Catholic Social Ministry), Service and Outreach Immersion Programs and Intramurals. Beginning in the Fall of 2022, parish youth in grade 9-12 from the three Spencer County parishes will gather as one youth group for the first time.
YDisciple sessions will meet on Sundays from 5:30 to 7 p.m., as listed on the program and activity schedule available after August 18 at www.sbcatholic.church/cyo or www.smcatholic.church/cyo. CYO registration for social, educational and recreational activities is also available after August 18. Please note that the schedule is subject to change due to the availability of location and volunteers, holy day and holiday schedules, and inclement weather.
Session locations will rotate monthly between St. Francis Parish’s Mary Help of Christians Campus and St. Boniface Parish.
Plans for this new youth ministry model came from the results of the Connected in the Spirit (CIS) process that started in 2016. CIS helped parishes discern where God is leading the Church in central and southern Indiana and discuss how the Archdiocese of Indianapolis must be open to newfound structures to carry out its mission.
