Students in grades 5–8 interested in working side by side with friends and classmates to serve Christ by serving their neighbors are invited to join. Members meet for team building, prayer, and planning service and outreach projects.
The four aims of Community, Service, Marian Spirituality and Formation to Service are woven into activities and monthly meetings of the VMY, which is an international youth organization of the Vincentian Family.
Members form teams of four to five students led by an adult sponsor to work at service sites of their choice two to three times monthly outside of school hours. Signup is in September. Members also help with the MSS Walk-a-thon and assist in deciding where some of the funds should go; we choose organizations where our funding has a direct impact on those living in poverty.
Students complete a pledge year during which they demonstrate their willingness to fulfill member responsibilities. Students who successfully complete requirements of the pledge year are inducted annually into the VMY on or near the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul.
