Rise & Ignite Youth Groups

Rise is Our Lady of Grace’s youth group for middle school teens (grades 6-8), and Ignite is our youth group for high school teens (grades 9-12). Rise seeks to teach and inspire young people to rise up and walk in the light of faith, while Ignite seeks to ignite an indistinguishable fire of faith in their hearts – so that young people of all ages may confidently and joyfully live as disciples of our Lord Jesus Christ, under the protection and guidance of our Blessed Mother, in a world that often leaves us longing for more. We want Rise and Ignite to allow pre-teens and teens to grow in healthy community with their neighbor, while they also grow in their personal relationship with Christ.

Both Rise and Ignite meet every other Sunday during the school year (please check this webpage for exact dates and times!). Meetings include faith discussion, games, free snacks, and time to hang out with other Catholic teens. Other events throughout the year have included: Holy Hours, Mass & breakfast, movie nights, bonfires, holiday parties, Mario Kart tournaments, picnics, trips, retreats, service opportunities, and so much more. Members of Ignite are also invited to attend the Steubenville Catholic Youth Conference in Steubenville, Ohio each summer.

Join us for our next meeting! Any and all teens are welcome, whether you are a parishioner of OLG or not. Current flyers with time, location, and topic/event details will be posted below as the dates approach - please check back often for updates!
