L.I.G.H.T. Senior High Youth Ministry

 


“Dear young people, let yourselves be taken over by the light of Christ, and spread that light wherever you are.”

Saint John Paul II


 

What is L.I.G.H.T. Youth Ministry?

The L.I.G.H.T. (Living in God’s Holy Truth) program is designed to nourish and strengthen faith formation during all four years of high school. The courses and activities within the program are geared toward strengthening the high school teens’ relationship with Jesus, increasing their desire to serve and affirming their understanding of the Catholic Church.

The L.I.G.H.T. program encompasses four “Basic” faith themes:  Profession of Faith, Sacraments of Faith, Life of Faith, and Prayer in the Life of Faith.  Through thought-provoking mini-courses, faith sharing small groups, youth group activities, retreats, social activities, and service and discipleship projects, the teens will understand that faith is a journey for life and that the sacrament of Confirmation becomes part of the journey — not the end of the journey.

Thank you Heavenly Father for the gift and the blessing of Our Lady of Mercy parish to each of us and the greater community.  May we always emulate Mama Marys fiat, her yes to You so that her Son Jesus will always be at the center of our lives, just like He is to her in her life and in her love.

The feast of our Lady of Mercy originates from the apparition of Our Lady of Ransom and, subsequently, the foundation of the Mercedarian Order. It is believed that in this apparition, she carried two bags of coins to be used in ransoming Christians imprisoned by Moors.
