Parish School of Religion & Youth Group

OLMC/HS Youth Ministry

We, the catechists of PSR, children of the word, and the youth group shared with OLMC focus on educating and inspiring the youth of the teachings of the Catholic Church. 

We share faith, hope, and love through an inclusive, positive, and creative environment led by wonderful adult role models.

We prepare the youth for the sacraments of reconciliation, first communion and confirmation. The youth lead mass through PSR and participate in the choir. They participate in many service projects throughout the community to include volunteering at Gumdrops, Herrin House of Hope, and leading food drives to donate to local pantries, to name a few.

We meet the needs of our youngest members by dismissing those under the age of 9 at the time of the homily for their own liturgy of the Word.

We help them to focus on the day's readings in ways that are age and understanding appropriate.

If you are a youth or an adult from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (Herrin, IL) or Holy Spirit (Carterville, IL) and interested in youth ministry, we would LOVE for you to join us at OLMC/HS Youth Ministry on www.Facebook.com. This is the place to stay informed on upcoming events, see photos of past activities, and suggest our next adventure.
