High School Youth Ministry

2023- 2024 HSYM SCHEDULE

At OLG, we believe in meeting teens where they are at, while providing opportunities to encounter Jesus Christ. We try to do this in many ways, one way in particular is through the High School Youth Group (HSYM)! Our HSYM has opportunities for teens to engage in games, small groups, prayer and so much more. We serve our youth by providing a place where their emotional, physical and spiritual needs are met. As a reflection of the love and support that our Lord, parish and community have given us, we gladly serve them all through joyful, Christian service.

The Upper Room

The Upper Room is meant to complement the HSYM curriculum, offering the youth a unique experience of faith. Through discussions, games and other creative activities, they are challenged to apply the Church’s teachings to their everyday lives.

Wednesdays from 7:00 - 9:00 PM in Frassati Room: September 20, October 4 & 18, November 1 & 15, December 6 & 20, January 17, February 7 & 21, March 6, April 4 & 17 and May 5 & 15.

Director of High School Youth Ministry

I am excited that you are part of our community and would love to meet you and connect about the many ways to plug in to what Jesus is doing here at OLG. (There are two calendar options linked below, one for Young Adults/Adults, the other for High Schoolers.) Whether it be over a coffee, food, tea – you name it, I am in. If I have not met you yet, please reach out! I look forward to journeying with you towards the Lord!
