Parish Groups - OLQW YOUTH GROUP - (W.H.A.M.) We Have A Mission

The mission for OLQW Youth Group (W.H.A.M. ) is to share the love of Christ with members of
the church, the community, and most importantly to one another.

We are here to build new friendships and to encourage individualism while stimulating a peaceful atmosphere. We want to enable today’s youth to become tomorrow’s Catholic leaders!

We welcome and encourage youth ages (14-20) to come out and participate in events.
Our events Calendar is posted monthly at the back of the church.

Events such as:

Youth Prayer Group
Prayer nights are wonderful, relaxing nights just for the youth. It is a night for us to pray and reflect and it
is filled with music, and powerful reflections. If you ever need a time for yourself or just some peace and quiet, come and join the prayer group!

Steubenville
Steubenville is an amazing event that is popular to all our youth. It is a 3 day trip to Steubenville, Ohio at the beautiful Franciscan University. Hundreds of youth from the US and Canada come to this event. We listen to powerful speakers, great and uplifting songs and we made new friends along the way. Our parish has always taken a bus filled with youth to this event and the youth always have an amazing and life-changing time!

Movie Night
Movie night is a night for the youth to just hang out and watch a great movie. It takes place in the Church basement and food is served. This event always gives the youth a chance to catch up with one another. The movie is always thrilling and exciting. It is always better to see a movie here then spend money
seeing one in the theatre.

Sport Night
Sport night is an event where we can play all our favourite sports with the rest of the group.
It is a great way to release all our energy as well as getting some great exercise with it.

Volunteering at Good Shepherd
The Good Shepherd is a shelter that helps the homeless in Toronto. When we volunteer there we
always have a great and enjoyable time. We get to hang out with our friends and we get to give back
to the community. At the shelter we do many things such as folding the large amount of never-ending laundry, sorting the large supple of food and our personal favourite, making the beds for the homeless. Overall the day is a rewarding day for all the youth and listen up all high school kids, this volunteer work can earn you community service hours!!! So don’t be afraid to join us for this event.

Volunteering at the Mariann Home
The Mariann Home is an elderly home where we volunteer at. This place is very inviting and it is always great to visit the elderly community. They always love to see new faces and it is a great opportunity to get community service hours.

And there are many more events…
