At OLP, we believe that small groups are at the heart of Youth Ministry. While large group gatherings are full of energy and fun, small groups are where lasting friendships are built and faith grows deeper.
Each youth is placed in a small group of about 8 students with others in their grade, led by caring adult mentors who are committed to walking alongside them. Together, your youth will grow as disciples of Christ through meaningful conversations, prayer, fun activities, and shared experiences.
Our hope is that every young person finds a place where they are known, supported, and encouraged as they journey through middle school and deepen their relationship with Jesus.In the U.S., there are 1,700 Catholic young people to every 1 paid youth minister. In other countries, the gap is even wider. Young people need adult mentors who will walk with them on their journey of faith and invest deeply in them. Small groups will be created for Middle Schoolers .
