Youth Ministry

The Our Lady of the Fields Youth Ministry has several goals:

  • Engage our youth spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and physically so they can embrace Jesus Christ and a life in the community that He founded- the Catholic Church.
  • To teach our youth spiritual tools, including religious education, liturgy, fellowship, and outreach, that will deepen their faith in our Lord, Jesus Christ and prepare them for an increasingly secular society.
  • To prepare our youth for leadership roles in our parish and community
  • To foster the individual growth, spiritually, intellectually, and emotionally of each young person.

To accomplish these goals we offer a variety of programs:

  • EDGE on FIRE: For middle school youth — Edge on Fire meets on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month during the school year. It is a mixture of religious training and fellowship that help our youth put our beliefs into real-world action and to build friendships with other youth that share their beliefs. This is done in a fun and spiritually loving atmosphere that embraces each youth as unique individuals deserving of God’s love and acceptance. We ask for a $3.00 donation to offset the cost of dinner and supplies.
  • LIFETEEN: For high school students — Lifeteen meets on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month during the school year. Lifeteen focuses on developing the spiritual development of our teens through a deeper investigation into our faith. The spiritual themes are taught through games, large and small group discussions, skits, and prayer. Fellowship, creating and keeping friends that share beliefs and morals is also an important part of Lifeteen. We want our teens to know that they are not alone in fighting and avoiding temptation in this world. They have the whole Catholic Church to support them! We ask for a $3.00 donation to offset the cost of dinner and supplies.
