Youth Ministry
Mission
The mission of the Our Lady of the Lake Youth Ministry Program is to help our youth experience their faith among peers and to help them foster their personal and spiritual growth through a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith. We will provide our youth with a safe, non-threatening environment where they can build community with one another, enjoy social events, and most importantly build a meaningful relationship with Jesus.
Who?
We were blessed to receive a grant that has allowed us to obtain Lifeteen and Edge programs for our youth in our parish. Life Nights will be for the high schoolers, and Edge Nights will be for the middle schoolers. These programs include social nights, issue nights, and fun activity series!
