High School Youth Ministry

OLP’s Youth Ministry program is focused on helping your family and the parishioners to mentor youth into a deeper relationship with Christ Jesus through all opportunities that your youth can experience. There will be numerous opportunities to grow the faith of your families, personal formation for your youth, opportunities of fellowship with youth they know and others God has intended for them to meet at social gatherings, retreats, mission trips, Steubenville Conference, National Catholic Youth Conference, Camps, etc. They can embark on a life long journey with the Youth Ministry program which will constantly challenge them to deepen their faith.

Below is the calendar for scheduled events during the 2023-2024 school year. 
Dates subject to change.

Join us the next 4 years to strengthen and deepen your life in Christ. You will live as disciples of Jesus Christ in your world and responsible to participate in the life, mission, and work of OLP Catholic community. We will evangelize your personal and spiritual growth through justice and service, pastoral care, prayer, and worship. You will be encouraged to develop your leadership because God needs your help in the mission of His church. This will be accomplished through the collection of the best curriculum available.







Addresses head-on one of the biggest problems we all face:
how do we get Catholic teens to appreciate the awesome
beauty and mystery of the Mass...and to actually look
forward to attending and participating?










                                                      A life-changing journey through the
                                                      Catholic faith for teens.









 


Give teens the peace and confidence that comes from a firm foundation in the faith. We live in a broken and hurting world. Teens today see division, anxiety, and tension all around them. Connected: Catholic Social Teaching for This Generation brings Christ’s healing message to a world that
sorely needs it through the topics that are most important to teens right now.










                                       YOUCAT stands for the faith of the Catholic Church:                                             vividly explained, innovatively presented, officially                                                 confirmed.






YDisciple isn’t just another video resource. We understand that programs don’t make disciples. Only a disciple can. That’s why YDisciple couples video resources with extensive training and support for leaders.





The Life Teen movement consists of resources that provide solid Catholic teaching and youth ministry experiences for youth in middle school through high school so you can spend less time at your desk and more time ministering to teens. We believe that when a teenager encounters Christ through the beauty of the Catholic faith, they will transform their parish, community, and culture. We’ve seen it happen time and time again.

Every Month we will gather to grow in fellowship because "where 2 or more are gathered He is with us." It will be a mix of on campus and off campus fellowship gatherings. Where will we go? That is up to you every month that we gather.

WHY SMALL LIFE-SHARING GROUPS? Connecting with a small group of friends about faith matters is an amazing way to really immerse yourself in your faith with the personal attention, encouragement, prayerful support, and accountability you need for sustained spiritual growth. Love, purpose, meaning., and belonging, and being deeply connected…we all need these things. With them, our ordinary lives are transformed into extraordinary Christian lives. Discover the power of real life change. Discover the life you were made for. Small groups aren't just beneficial, they're biblical. From Moses (Exodus 18:13-26), to the Apostles (Acts 2:42), meeting together in small life-sharing groups encourages us in the faith (Hebrews 10:25).
