Saint Peter's Parish of Olney hosts a wonderful and exciting Youth Ministry. Open to youth in grades 7-12, our youth ministry incorporates the love of and desire for God into all of its activities. It is a place where youth can go and learn more about their faith with their peers through discussions and activities. Youth have a place of camaraderie through their common connections in the Catholic life. There are two youth groups, Junior High Youth Group for grades 7-8 and Senior High Youth Group for grades 9-12.

The Junior High Youth Group was created in 1999 to complement the religious education our young people are receiving. Members come from both Catholic and public schools. The group meets several times per month for social, service, team building activities. Dances are offered throughout the year and ice-skating is offered in the winter months.

Senior High
The Senior High Youth Group was formed in 1993 and is very active. Members come from both public, private and Catholic schools in the area. The group is open to all, including our non-Catholic friends. All are welcome to weekly Sunday night meetings, which are the foundation of the youth group. At these meetings a wide variety of activities ranging from talks to service projects, to games takes place. In its program of bringing Christ to its members, the youth group incorporates the following activities into its calendar:

Retreats
Service and justice projects
Youth Mass
