Youth Faith Formation (Grade 7-12)
Our Lady of the Lake/Opportunities for Youth
The National Conference of Catholic Bishops has given us a framework for comprehensive ministry with adolescents in the “Renewing the Vision” document. At Our Lady of The Lake, we strive to respond to the goals set out in this document by; 1) to empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ is our world today, 2) to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic faith community and 3) foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
