Youth Ministry

Hi! My name is Sarah Beaver, sometimes known as SB to the youth. I am the Coordinator of Youth Ministry for Our Lady of Peace Parish. Something special about our youth is that they come to us from all around the Erie area. Which has now brought in Chandler Villanueva as our current Regional Youth Minister. We both are leading youth group now and rotating between OLP and St. Francis Xavier in McKean. We are so excited to welcome more youth into our family!

I have worked at OLP now for four years and I believe the Lord has begun a revival with the youth of the area. Chandler began working with us in July, so excited to have him on board. We hope and pray we can offer the resources and opportunities needed for the youth to follow God's will in their lives.

If you are looking for a way to support our ministry, please reach out and we can offer a few opportunities. We are mostly looking for prayers, for continued growth and understanding of the Catholic faith!

What we see as most important for our ministry is that the youth know they belong here. There is a place for everyone here! :)

Looking to get involved in this ministry? I am looking to expand the adults on my core team!

Looking to get involved as a youth? If you're in 4th-12th grade, we have a youth group for you! For K-5th, we've got Kid's Night Out for you. Looking for something we don't currently offer? Let me know, and we will see what we can find!

Looking to get involved with a Young Adult Community, please reach out!

Want to receive our text reminders, make sure you give us your cell phone number and you will never miss another event.
