DCYC Signups. DCYC is open to all high school age students of our Parish. Please consider going. We will be carpooling to and from the Waco Convention Center each day. The high school kids hear each week in different reflections about people who attend an event like this and have a powerful encounter with God. Take advantage of that possibility by attending this event! Contact Lori Janek for more on the event or to sign up.
The mission of the Diocesan Catholic Youth Conference (DCYC) is to provide an opportunity for youth to encounter Christ through liturgy, sacraments and engaging presentations which reflect the diverse needs of the youth of the Austin diocese.

CBSU Teen Bible Study. Have you ever wanted to read the Bible, but felt intimidated by its size? Or did you start reading the Bible and then become bored by the monotony of Leviticus? Have you ever wondered whether the Bible even relates to your life at all? Then join us for the Teen Timeline, a Bible study for teens by Mark Hart. Starting after the first of the year, it will be held on two Sunday evenings a month. If interested contact Jon Hlavenka at 254-733-3181 or tjh5215@yahoo.com
8th Annual Men's Conference "We believe that man to man discipleship is absolutely critical to the Church and the challenges we face individually and collectively. That's why the theme for our 8th Annual Men's Conference centers on Jesus' call for us all to "Go Make Disciples". Ragan Edgerly, President of Deli Management, Inc. for Jason's Deli will be our esteemed MC for the day. Following a Mass by Bishop Joe Vásquez, we've got three great speakers lined up that will move and inspire you to reach new levels in your faith and take action to become the disciple that Christ asked each and every one of us to be."
A group of men from West will be attending. If you would like to go to this or have questions, please contact us at 254-644-8732.
