Youth Ministry in our collaborative is the response of our faith community to the needs of young people and the sharing of unique gifts of youth with the parish. It is a ministry to, with, by and for youth.
High School Youth Group
The High School Youth Group is testing out a new meeting time this year: 5-5:50pm on Sundays, before the 6pm Mass.
The Youth Group meets in the Youth Center at Our Lady’s and is open to all high schoolers.
We meet next on Sunday, November 12. Join us for a service project: Making Giving Tree Ornaments!
We are always looking for adult volunteers and chaperones!

Each summer, the teens from our community embark upon a weeklong service trip called Workcamp to help those in need.
The trip usually happens right after the school year ends and before the July 4th holiday. Workcamp has been a part of the community life at Our Lady's since 1997 and is open to all of the youth of our Collaborative! We are excited to be in our third decade of service and formation with and for our young people!
We’ll be traveling to Knoxville, TN, to serve in June 2024. There will be a Workcamp informational meeting on Zoom on Tuesday, November 28, at 7pm. Contact Jared for the meeting link. For now, we encourage all those who are currently in grades 7-12 to think about joining this fun and rewarding service trip!
