YOUTH GROUPS
At OSLC, we have a youth organization for all of our Youth in grades 7-12. There is a three pronged emphasis to our youth program, which involves education, service and social activities.
Confirmation
We offer confirmation for 7th and 8th grades. The 2011-2012 Confirmation Year will begin on Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Class will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 7:15, in the Administrative Conference Room at the East Mesa Campus. This year the focus will be on the Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament. We rotate each year between the Bible and the Catechism.For more info, click here.
Youth Group
Youth group will be meeting Sunday mornings in the Toquam room at 10:00 am. This year, we will be doing a profound series based on a movie and book called To Save a Life. To Save A Life is an incredible movie about the real-life challenges of teens and their choices. The group this year will provide a huge outreach opportunity to gather teens and those who care for them and to explore the themes of the movie. All are encouraged to attend and to bring friends.
