MERGE is a developing social and spiritual organization for young adults, 21 to mid-30s, single or married. Every month we have a number of social events for individuals to participate in, such as happy hour, game nights, dining out, movies, festivals, etc. We also gather for service opportunities, bible studies, mass and other parish events.

At the beginning of 2011, we decided it was necessary to rebuild the Young Adult Ministry here at SJV and with that MERGE was founded. So while we are still in the process of forming this group, we do look forward to getting ideas and suggestions from new members. It is going to take some time to grow, but please know that we are here to cater to the young adults of St. John Vianney Church. Please contact us for more information or questions.

Volunteer Opportunities

SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS
We have needs in the Junior High and High School programs. Imagine how incredible it would be to have young adults volunteer a little bit of their free time to these youth. The commitment for this would be an hour and a half, one day a week (Sunday). Plus, you would spend about an hour during the week, on your own time, preparing for Sunday. Sound like too much? I didn't think so. That small amount of your time could change a teen for the rest of his/her life. Contact the Youth Formation Office to learn more about our CCE program or other opportunities to help with the youth. You can call 281-497-6665 or contact , the Junior High Coordinator. See how rewarding working with your parish's youth can be!
