Mission Possible is an incredible service week where teens from all over the Diocese of Dallas work together to serve their communities.  We go out and work in nursing homes, food banks, soup kitchens and much, much more.  It’s a great opportunity for middle school students and high school students to learn more about Catholic Social Justice while meeting new people.  It’s also a great opportunity for middle school students to earn service hours for Confirmation and high school students can earn service hours for the fall semester.  Sign up will be April 1^st through May 1^st and is for everyone currently in grades 6-12.  

We depend on adult volunteers that have cleared our Safe Environment program for this event to be possible.   Parents will be assigned a “crew” based on how many seat belts their vehicle has and will go out each day with another “crew” to work at a particular site.  The number of teens that are able to participate completely depends on how many adult volunteers we have.  We do have a "mini camp" for anyone with younger siblings that will need someone to care for them during the day.  Our mini camp is in the Youth Room and there are lots of fun crafts, movies, etc. for the siblings to enjoy while Mom and/or Dad go out with a crew.

St. Pius X is part of the “East” region and is hosted here at SPX Communion Hall.  Cost for youth participants is $50.  There is no cost for adults or “mini campers”.

We are so excited to have our largest group (at least in the last 10 years) participating in Mission Possible this summer.  It is going to be a great week.  Thank you to the adults that have volunteered their time and energy to this fabulous experience.  We do, however, have a wait list.  So, if you could possibly think about taking some time off to this summer we would love to have you volunteer with us.  You could even possibly split the week with your spouse so that you don’t get too far behind at work.
