Young Vincentians are young members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul who are seeking to grow closer to God through service to others. They participate spiritually through prayer and projects that assist those in need in some way.

Smart Boundaries & Safety
A Virtus Session for TeensWednesday, November 18th
6:30-7:30pm in the Youth Center
(Parents should fill out the short online consent form below BEFORE their teen attends!) It's not just about stranger danger! Whether for daily life, school & church activities, volunteering, & employment situations, come learn some smart tips and information for recognizing certain situations so that you can respond and keep you and those around you safe from potential harm. In collaboration with the Diocese of Richmond, we are asked to offer a session for our young people on annual basis. (Each year is different.) While not a requirement to attend in order to participate in youth ministry, we do hope teens join us for this valuable resource that can be super helpful as they grow older and involve themselves in volunteer roles and working with other people in public environments. Join us!
