Youth Night is our Large Group night of Faith Formation for grades 6-12. Sessions are Sunday evenings from early September through April.  We observe the CFBISD and LISD school year holidays for calendar planning.  Throughout the year, the youth will have engaging opportunities to learn more about our great faith tradition, encounter Christ in prayer and through the Sacraments, and put their faith into practice in helping others around is through service opportunities. This all takes place while surrounded by others on this journey together.

Adult Volunteers

We are truly blessed by many stepping up to help be present and help walk with and guide our youth in their faith. We also love hanging out with each other at various times throughout the year whether it be planning something youth oriented or even during the event, or just hanging out together at other times.  There are many different areas in which you can help. Please contact us, and we’ll take some time to discern which areas the Lord might be leading you into service to our young people.

Youth Volunteer Opportunities

 

Dallas Ramps

Throughout the year, we have organized opportunities to help make the outside world accessible to folks who are homebound by helping the Dallas Ramps Project. These occur on Saturdays from 7am until usually 2pm. Both youth and adults are needed, and space is very limited per Saturday.  Registration opens usually about a month before the scheduled project.

St. Vincent de Paul is an outreach ministry that focuses on helping one person at a time. There are many ways in which youth can help from helping to keep the food pantry organized to learning how to go visit, talk, and pray with individuals with other adults present. To learn more, be a guest at our meetings. We meet the second and third Thursday of the month from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Siena Hall at St. Catherine of Siena Parish.

Vocation Awareness

God has a special plan for each one of us. We need to to take the time to discern His voice in the midst of the loudness of our everyday lives. If you’re possibly feeling that deeper call, have courage to respond! As St. John Paul the Great would often say, “Young people, be not afraid to follow Christ!” This message is repeated often by Pope Francis even today. If you are feeling that call, or even the slightest nudge to look into a lifestyle that’s radically different, yet full of blessing, just say, “Yes” and dive into a life dedicated to Christ in a special way!

St. Catherine of Siena

A soul rises up, restless with tremendous desire for God's honor and the salvation of souls. St. Catherine dedicated her life to serving those in need. She served as a nurse in homes and hospitals, and looked out for the destitute. She spread her knowledge and love of God through her work and her writings. At the age of seven we are told that St. Catherine vowed her virginity to God. At eighteen, she received the Dominican habit. She then began to live in solitude and silence in her room, going out only for mass. But somewhere, somehow, in this silence she learned to read. This silence ended in 1368 in her "mystical espousal" to Christ, after which she suddenly rejoined her family at home and gave herself to the service of the poor and sick.
