The CYO is a church sponsored organization created to provide opportunities for youth to flourish in a nurturing environment while performing meaningful community service, experiencing Christian fellowship, and developing spiritual, social, and individual growth. Membership is open to individuals in the 8th Grade through 12th Grade.

St. Jane CYO … Striving to reach out to our local young people in order to help them grow in their relationship with Jesus, their Catholic Faith and develop into the healthy young men and women God calls them to be through a comprehensive program inspired by Renewing the Vision from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Our program strives to include the following components: social development (activities), prayer/spirituality, social justice/service, and knowledge/formation of/in the Catholic faith, in ways that are attractive to our youth today. Most of all we recognize the importance of family and the role they play in their children’s faith life and strive to work together with parents/guardians and the community at large.
