Here at OLG our  High School Youth Ministry (anyone who has been confirmed in 8th-12th grade) is meant to engage young people where they are at in their journey to respond to the ultimate call of all of our lives: the call to be an intentional disciple of God. 

In all of our ministires we bring the Gospel to young people by the art of living well - and it begins and ends with Christ. There are so many places here at OLG for everyone to get involved in order to share their gifts.  Contact us today to see where God is calling you! 
LifeNights are the best nights! 
Greetings all!

Last week we decorated the 
FRASSATI ROOM for CHRISTMAS! It looks amazing! 


Don't forget! We don't have LifeNight this week! It is the day of Mercy at OLG- that means we are having confessions ALL DAY at OLG! Remember to come and stop by! The Frassati Room will be open from 4-6PM if you want to grab some coffee and work on homework! 

God bless, and see you next week for our Christmas party!

Living as a Christian means living a counter-cultural life.

This is especially true when it comes to our understanding of human sexuality. Entirely contrary to the trend of "hooking up", sex is an integral part of God's design for humanity to be nurtured in the context of self-giving love. 
To understand this, we have to go back to how God "created them male and female," how relationships come together, the covenant of marriage, and how sex is God's truly creative plan for giving life. 

This YDisciple series tackles the subject in a candid and unflinching way to give a credible alternative to everything young people hear from our world.
Who Can be a Peer Minister?
Any fully initiated Catholic high school students who wants to deepen his or her faith in the fellowship of other Catholic Teens

Gabri Update! 
Keep waiting patiently for Him

I pray you have had a good start to Advent. Growing up, my mom would always choose a daily Advent reflection book and read from it before we left the dinner table. The rest of my family, myself included, would groan. We did not have the patience to sit and listen. Now that I look back at it, I wish I had paid more attention to the reflections because Advent is a beautiful time to reflect and prepare for the coming of Jesus. See more...
