What is COR Group?
Here at Our Lady of Mercy, our high school youth group is called "COR" group. COR, short for 'heart' in Latin, is found in the Latin word Misericordiae- meaning mercy- and mercy is the foundation of our group, as well as our parish's namesake. We strive to be the faces of mercy to our families, our friends, on our athletic fields, and in our classrooms. COR strives to build community through prayer, fun, and authentic friendships. It is through this community that we, with our fellow teens, can navigate the unique challenges that high school brings and prepare for other life transitions that come our way. It is in this community that we can be comfortable and confident to find support in Christ with our peers by our side. It is in this time of discovery and growth that we seek opportunites to encounter God in each other and the the beauty of the Catholic Church.

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the basics of the Christian faith.
People are asking some of the most important questions of life as we face such uncertain times around the world. It is so important to process these current events and also the questions that come up in us, as we face time at home, isolation, and fear.
Alpha is a chance to ask these big questions and explore the Christian faith in a fun, non-pressurized environment. Each session includes a short film and a discussion where you can share what you think with a small group of people just like you.
Our first session is September 6th, beginning at 3pm.
