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!

Thanks to all for joining us with our quick adjustment to Online last night! Just a remider that next week we should be able to resume in-person. If that changes we will let you know ASAP. ALSO - if online works better for your schedule PLEASE register here! Our Online LifeNights are the next day (Thursday) from 7:30 - 8:30PM.
The goal of our LifeNight last night - titled "Dangerous" - was for us all to understand holiness as being set apart for God and dangerous to the status quo because it challenges mediocrity and inspires extraordinary living.
  • When we live in the love of God and reject worldly substitutes and counterfeits of love, we begin our journey of becoming holy.
  • Holiness means to be set apart for God. It is dangerous to the status quo because the presence of holy people challenges mediocrity and inspires extraordinary living.
  • St. Stephen’s holiness and witness to Christ challenged the status quo. Because of this, he was persecuted and killed. We are called to withstand persecution through testimony sharing and remaining faithful in prayer.
Our challenge last night was to come up with our OWN testimony. HERE is a super helpful resource to begin working on your testimony. REMEMBER! If  you need help our want someone to hear your testimony - that's what the Core Team and I are here for! 

I have also included some more resources below if you are interested :)

The goal of our LifeNight last night was to discuss love from a Trinitarian perspective and bring awareness to the many counterfeits of love that we experience in our day-to-day lives. The Life Night builds hope of being loved and loving others in an extraordinary way. Our discussion questions last night lead to great small group conversations! Check them out below - 
  • Do you love anyone with agape type love? Who?
  • Have you ever experienced the presence of Christ in prayer? When?
  • Have you ever experienced agape love? From who? How?
  • How can the different types of loves work together in a relationship? How can you see them working together in your relationships?
  • How can you live your life integrating agape type love? Prayer? Disinterested friendships? Intentional dating?
As with all OLG events we follow CDC, State, and Archdiocesan guidelines for health and safety. This event will be outside. In the case of bad weather we will reschedule.
