Youth Ministry

Grow in Faith. Building Friendships. Make a difference.

Youth Ministry at Christ Our Light is more than just events—it's a place where young people can deepen their faith, build lasting friendships, and actively participate in the life of the Church. Through service, social gatherings, retreats, and leadership opportunities, we encourage youth to explore their spirituality in a fun, supportive community..
