As we adjust to the current health climate, we know each family’s situation is unique from the next. While some families have begun interacting with others more, other families are still quarantined and plan to remain that way for the foreseeable future. Whatever your family’s situation may be, we are still committed to journeying with your teen towards Christ and are therefore offering two tracks for youth ministry this year.

Option 1: In Person EDGE

Your teen would be one of a limited number of teens (less than 40) participating in EDGE at Mater Dei. Efforts would be made to minimize contact and the sharing of materials as much as possible, but contact is still possible. Masks would be worn and teens would sit in distanced chairs. Mater Dei will be sanitized before and after each EDGE night. Please consider whether or not your teen is mature enough to follow these guidelines.

• Monday Nights  //  6:30-8pm
• Wednesday Afternoons  //  4:45-6pm

Option 2: Online Life Group

Life Groups are committed small groups (10 teens per group) led by two adults that meet over Google Meet each week. This track is ideal for teens eager to continue building their relationship with Christ and with others, but are/live with someone who is immunocompromised. Teens would get to request 3 people they would/would not like to have in their group. Though one adult may give a short proclaim or show a video about the night’s topic, this option would be heavily discussion based. Commitment is crucial for a Life Group to be effective. Because it is a small group, absences are noticeable and hurt the effectiveness of the discussion.

To make this year possible, we need volunteers!
If you're even a tiny bit open to serving teens in some way, please contact ChrisM@ladyrosary.org or Patricia@ladyrosary.org for more information.

Thank you in advance for being courteous of others!

At Our Lady of the Rosary, we are committed to each teen's spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing. As families begin interacting with others more and more, we wanted to provide a place for teens to spend time together and grow in their relationship with Christ. When attending events, please consider:

• Each participant will need a DOSP Covid-19 Waiver on file to acknowledge your understanding that interacting with others carries risk
• When indoors, all participants will be required to wear a mask and social distancing will be followed.
• Masks are not required when outdoors, but are encouraged. If you'd rather not wear a mask outside, remember the importance of maintaining a safe distance throughout your conversation with others. Though it may take getting used to, the safety of others is worth the effort. 
• Participants are asked to use hand sanitizer as they enter the building and throughout the event. OLOR facilities (door handles, countertops, chairs, etc.) and equipment (volleyballs, frisbees, water coolers, etc.) will be sanitized before, during, and after the event. 
• Understand that efforts are being made to minimize sharing of materials, such as using smartphones to access Scripture rather than Bibles, or only offering prepackaged snacks. 
• If you have interacted with someone who has interacted with someone exposed to COVID-19, please stay home until you or that person have tested negative.
• Please discuss these expectations with your teens beforehand. If they are unwilling to wear their mask properly or sit socially distanced, we respectfully ask that they do not participate at this time. Disregarding these rules puts others at risk who have decided to participate with full trust that everyone will follow the rules. Breaking these rules hurts those who are present, but also those who couldn't come because they wish they could participate, but had to sacrifice the opportunity due to the risks. If we have to remind your teen to comply with rules several times, we will ask you to pick them up and they will not be allowed to participate in future events.
