High School and Middle School Youth Ministry

Youth Activities Coordinator: Katie Tang, 274-6520 ext. 318, ktang@olgchurch.org


The goal of the OLG Youth Group is to help our middle school and high school students understand how their faith and talents enrich both their own lives and the lives of all who know them. Our program provides opportunities through youth group meetings, social outings and service programs for our teens to live their faith. Middle school and high school youth group meetings are held monthly throughout the school year and focus on fellowhsip and team building activities. Lock-ins, retreats and social outings (ski trips, Emerald Pointe, Carowinds and Celebration Station) are held for both middle school and high school students. Service programs that run throughout the year include Teen Court, serving dinner to the families at Pathways Shelter and running bingo games at a local senior center (Bingo Buddies). Youth volunteers also assist during many church and community events. Check out the Youth Group News below for upcoming activities and how to sign up!




YOUTH GROUP NEWS



OLG YOUTH MASS

Did you know that every month OLG has a Youth Mass at 7PM? Youth Mass is a regular Sunday Parish Mass. The only difference is that YOU, the youth of our parish serve as readers, greeters, ushers, choir members and gift bearers. If you would like to participate in the Youth Mass as a reader, greeter, usher or gift bearer, please contact Katie Tang at the number above. The Youth Mass is held once a month at the Sunday 7PM Mass. All youth of the parish and their families are invited to come to this Mass and sit together as a group. Do you sing? Play an instrument? Would you like to participate in the Youth Mass Choir? Being in the Youth Choir involves participating in 2 rehearsals a month and also singing in the choir the day of our scheduled Youth Mass. If you would like to be a part of the choir, please contact Katie Tang at the number listed above.
