The AfterMass Youth Ministry bridges the gap between School of Religion and Adult Ministry to help connect our teens to their faith.
“Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” —Timothy 4:12
The OLBS Youth Ministry, AfterMass, believes that even the smallest things can make the biggest difference. We strive to provide opportunity to encounter Jesus through service; service to others, service to our parish and service to our community.
Connect OLBS teens to their faith by providing opportunities for service and social interaction. All is done with a joyful heart! Click here to have a look.
All teens aged 13-19 are welcome to join the AfterMass Youth Group. Watch our calendar or follow us on Facebook for upcoming meetings (generally the 3rd Sunday of each month) and events. Stop by any time—drop-ins always welcome!
If you are interested in becoming an Adult Volunteer, please visit our Volunteer Requirements page to learn more.
Not only are our teens encouraged to help serve at Mass both individually and as part of the AfterMass Youth Group, but there is prayer and reflection built into many of our meetings and events.

Pay a deposit (deposit subject to change and will be announced after Mission Trips are booked)
