Our Lady of the Lake Youth Group Ministry encompasses many areas: our Confirmation program, service projects, retreats, peer ministry, youth choir, lectors, cantors, ushers, and more.

These are some of the ways we encourage our young people to be active participants in their faith.

Our hope is to help all young people to be active participants in their faith.

Our hope is to help all young adults to grow personally and spiritually through sharing their faith with others in our parish family.

The Youth group meets every Monday night from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

All 9th through Young Adults are welcome. 

 

 

Please come and join us.

Three interdependent and equally important goals guide the Church's ministry with adolescents. These goals state what it means for the Catholic community to respond to the needs of young people and to involve young people in sharing their unique gifts with the larger community.
 

Goal 1: To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today.

 

Goal 2: To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community.
 

Goal 3: To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.

 

The Catholic bishops of the United States defined Catholic youth ministry in the 1997 document, excerpts given above -  Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry
