For well over forty years, the CYC at Christ the King has been an important and vibrant part of the parish community. The CYC is open to all high school-aged members of the parish and the surrounding area, as well as to adults interested in working in an advisory role. The CYC board is comprised of elected officers, class representatives and adult advisors.
What do we do for fun?
CYC was founded primarily as a social organization, and the current membership of over 75 young people works to develop a safe and friendly atmosphere where they can interact and have fun with each other and the entire community. Sponsored activities include a religious retreat, a winter semi-formal, a spring musical, field trips, and a monthly CYC mass and meeting. We also field a volleyball team and basketball team every year.
How do we give back?
In addition to the social side of the CYC, there is an important component of service to the parish and the community. Members volunteer at Interfaith Hospitality and Camp Sunshine, help raise funds for various local charities, help out at many parish functions and with the work of other ministries.
How do we pay for it all?
To support all these efforts, the members also participate in fundraising events such as car washes, plant sales, and an ad-book campaign in conjunction with the Spring Musical. These fundraisers are a combination of fun and a learning experience for all CYC members.
