Summer Challenge is a week of fun, faith formation, and service held in early summer. This year's Challenge will be held June 3 - 7. Monday through Thursday (8 a.m. - noon), teams of middle and high school students come together to learn a little about our Catholic faith and a spirituality of service before being sent out around Austin to do some service for others. The youth will learn about different organizations that help people in our area. On Friday (9:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.), we will celebrate a week of service at hard work at Volente Beach.

Hello! If you would like to sign-up to serve as a Driver/Chaperone for Summer Challenge 2024, please indicate that on your child's Registration Form. First priority for student registration will be given to those students whose parents sign up to serve as Driver/Chaperones.
