Teens

There are many ways for teenagers to get involved at St. Pius X! Check back often for updated events and activities.

After being Confirmed, teens are invited to participate in a Discipleship Group (D-Group). Groups use materials from YDisciple, which pairs six to eight youth with two to three adult mentors who help facilitate a discussion on topics about faith and life. As a group, they establish trust, faith sharing, and accountability, and provide guidance to the teens as they grow in their relationship with Jesus.  The core principles of Discipleship groups are: relational, relevant and parent driven. D-Groups also meet the five fundamental needs of teenagers: the need to be understood, the need to belong, the need to be transparent, the need to engage in critical thinking and the need for guidance. Teens are split into groups based on gender and age; we currently have several groups meeting at different times throughout the week. For more information or to join a group, contact Shawn Gutowski at (651) 762-3634 or sgutowski@churchofstpiusx.org!
