While there may not look like there is much going on here (this website is all under construction) there is much already happening in the youth group at OLOL. Just a few short months ago, there was no youth group at the parish. But over the summer we sent a teen on a leadership retreat, went on several trips, had a couple of service projects, and a day of reflection. Of course that is just a list of stuff we did. What actually happened? The teens that joined us had fun! They came back for more, and became friends. From day 1 they worked as a team and included one another. During our service opportunities, their eyes were opened to the needs and different situations within our community. They prayed together and experienced some different forms of prayer. They are ready for more, and are looking to grow deeper in their friendships and relationship with God!
What's next? Well, we just put together a student leadership team... Tim, Wellington, Charlotte, Bridie, Jeasmine, and Josephine. They are awesome! Helping them out will be high school senior and youth group expert- Monica! We are working on getting a team of adult volunteers together, and are fortunate to have some persistent young adults interested, as well as a few parents. We kick off in 2 weeks with our regular 7-9pm Friday night youth group! I hope to continue seeing more of our teens from the parish getting involved and benefiting from this ministry!
Our Lady of Lourdes... Pray for Us. Pray for our teens.
