To be a Peer Minister is to… “Live in a manner worthy of the call you have received.”
Ephesians 4:1
With over 60 High School Peers who are actively ministering to our parish, Peer Ministry is a very important part of OLPH. It is an opportunity to grow in love, leadership, and maturity, while at the same time, have fun, make long-lasting friendships, learn what your gifts are, and learn how to BE a GIFT to the parish community! A Peer Minister spends time not only ministering to each other in the High School Youth Group, but also radiates Christ’s love to those younger than them, particularly those who
are in middle-school.

Peer Ministry IS- A Church Leadership program that allows high school students to use their talents and help their peers grow in faith, specifically through the Confirmation and IMPACT programs
- An opportunity to develop skills like sharing your faith, leading discussions, using the Bible, and welcoming others - Training that will help you grow in your faith and live it out at church, in school, at home, and everywhere you go! - For any High School student who has already been Confirmed in their faith - Fun, exciting, and entertaining. - Hard work that demands time, commitment, and sacrifice - Above all, an opportunity to serve Christ and His Church by serving others. |
Peer Ministry Is NOT- Required for any High School student
- Necessary for participation in High School Youth Group events - The same as Youth Ministry events (most Youth Ministry events are open to friends, neighbors, etc.) - For extroverts only - A clique or club |
