Ignite seeks to guide all young people in grades 6 through 8 to Christ through interactive catechesis and fellowship. Ignite strives to provide the youth with personal encounters with Jesus Christ.

Alive seeks to guide all teens to a personal relationship with Christ through fun catechesis, evangelization, and fellowship. Alive strives to provide teens with the tools needed for a life-long relationship with Christ and the Catholic faith.

The Confirmation Program at St. John Vianney Catholic Church seeks to prepare teens for a life-long relationship with Jesus Christ and the Catholic Church.

High school students that have received the Sacrament of Confirmation are invited to join our DOC Program. DOCs meet to grow in intentional discipleship, deepen their friendships, and plan for upcoming events such as retreats. DOCs are expected to attend Alive nights and act as role models for the underclassmen and middle school students. They also can assist as confirmation team leads.

All Ignite & Alive teens are invited to join us for Service Saturdays! 

We will be serving with organizations such as the Round Rock Area Serving Center, the Court nursing home, Community First! Village and more. This is a fantastic way for Confirmation candidates to receive their required service hours. Please note the specific times for each Service Saturday as they may vary. EIM certified adults are also needed to chaperone and help with transportation. The service sites can only accept a certain number of volunteers at a time so reserve your spot today. More information about each Service Saturday will be emailed out prior to the event. If you have any questions, please email Melissa Minnich at youth@sjvroundrock.org. 

We are always in need of more volunteers! Prayerfully consider devoting your time and talent to this ministry. We need volunteers to serve as catechists, chaperones, and hospitality ministers. All volunteers must be EIM certified. If you feel called to serve, please email Melissa Minnich at youth@sjvroundrock.org or fill out the form below.
