Middle School Youth Group

Youth Nights
Every Other Thursday
6:00-7:30 p.m.
Frassati Room
Lower Level, Parish Center

These nights are for middle school students grades 6-8. 

Our Youth Ministry Program strives to lead teens to Christ through creative catechesis, evangelization, and fellowship. We not only seek to introduce teens to Christ, but also to give them the tools to foster a life-long relationship with Christ in His Church. Through activities, events, and discipleship, Our Lady of Mount Carmel’s Youth Ministry Program seeks to bring Christ’s love to our teens, by providing a place to be known and loved through every experience, question, doubt, and prayer of adolescence and young adulthood.

Middle School Youth Group isn’t a replacement for religious education. Please view Youth Group as a program that supplements and supports what students learn from Religious Education. 

What does a typical Youth Night look like?
To start, we’ll gather together at 6:00 p.m. in the Youth Room for games, a time of prayer, and a relevant message to help our middle school students think through each of the adult decisions coming up in their lives. Following the message, we'll break into small groups for a time of discussion surrounding the topic of the night. These discussion small groups are led by a team of safe-environment-trained adults who have a desire for the young people of our parish to know Christ. Our Youth Nights conclude by 7:30 pm.  

What topics are covered at Youth Group?
Who am I? What is my purpose? How do I know if I'm making the best decisions? How can I best move on from my past or set up my future? The Bible can help us answer questions like these. Our messages provide truth for every day questions. 

Can students bring friends to Youth Group? 
Sure! Middle school friends of any faith or church background or experience are welcome with us on any Thursday.
