CYO & Jr. CYO

Catholic Youth Organization (CYO)

Our goal is to provide opportunities for High School age youth to build strong healthy relationships with God and with others. Through service, social, and spiritual dimensions of their lives they reveal Christ’s presence in our organization, parish and community.

Junior Catholic Youth Organization (Jr CYO)

Jr CYO is for any 6th-8th grader. It is not an organized "religion class", but rather a fun, safe environment for middle school aged kids of the Hays Catholic community to come together. This age is very impressionable and we want them to learn to be "Christ to one another". We want them to see how they can serve their church, their community and each other in a Christian manner. Some of the goals of this organization is to have social functions to get to know members of their church family, do activities that put into practice the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, and provide information and answer questions regarding their faith.
