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!

Greetings everyone!

Our LifeNight kick- off was amazing! It was so much fun getting to hang out with all of you, play Wubble Volleyball, and especially get to pray with you. 

Kory gave a GREAT opening talk for the year year and here are TWO things we want you to remember from it.

  1. Remember  Ted Leonosis?  He was the executive that got in a plane crash and lived. He said, “I don’t want to be a passive observer of my own life.”We all want this. We don’t want to waste our lives, and if we want this – more importantly – if we believe this – it means that our decisions and our actions matter.
  2. The "American dream" tells us that if we do what we want, if we become who we want to be, then we will be happy Jesus says something different.
    1. Matthew 10:39 - Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it."
    2. Matthew 26:24 - “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and and follow me."
                 But follow him where? To the Father. This was Jesus’ whole mission – to bring people back to the heart of God, to the heart of the Father

Thanks so much for coming and we can't WAIT to see you next week! We are going to start with a fun game and some great snacks! Thennn we are going to explore the question Jesus asks his disciples: Who do you say that I am? annnnd are going to do a close reading of St. Peter’s confession of faith that Jesus is the “Christ, the Son of the Living God” (Mt 16:16).  annnnnd don't forget that we have open Frassati Room starting at 4:30PM

Join OLG Youth Ministry as we gather together a few times during the year to start our day out right! We all go to the 9AM Mass at Our Lady of Grace and then we gather together for fun and friends over some good breakfast at Perkins or Jerry’s after Mass.  There will be a sign just outside the Adoration Chapel where we will gather to meet after the 9AM Mass.

Views about the Church can be as varied as its members or critics. What exactly is the Church? How can it be a trustworthy representation of Christ while filled with flawed human beings? How is it both ancient and timeless, seemingly outdated yet more necessary and relevant than ever? Why should the voice of the Church be heard above all the other voices claiming to speak the truth? This YDisciple course explores the truths and myths about the Church, including where it came from, why it still exists, and what role young disciples are supposed to play in it.

LifeNight's are a mixture of faith and fun, and are open to everyone who is in high school! Each LifeNight has a fun game, a testimony or teaching about a different topic of our faith, discussion, and closing prayer.

At LifeNights you will be able to talk about a variety of issues and experiences with friends and young adult leaders so that together you can grow in faith and discover how a relationship with God will help you have the best life possible! This is an incredible time to connect with friends and God in the midst of our busy lives.
