"The Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church will help middle and high school students to own and defend their faith and grow as a community through fellowship and service"

-- Mission Statement (2013)

     Middle School and High School youth have many opportunities to connect with their peers in youthgroup meetings throughout the school year (Sunday evening at 5:30 PM) as well as various retreats sponsored by the Diocese of Charleston.  

Such highlights in the year include the

• January Stand Up for Life Rally in Columbia, SC,
• Annual Youth Conference sponsoired by Franciscan University (Stuebenville, OH) in Duluth, Georgia.
• The Diocese also sponsors the Middle and High school age Summer Camps as well leadership training opportunities.  
• On many occasions, we have joined hundreds of other Christians for Carowinds Family Day during the Summer months and enjoyed Mass with the Bishop, as well as a huge picnic lunch!
• In October, the parish sponsors the local Stand Up for Life Rally in Greenwood.  It is an opportunity to let your presence be known along Montague Ave. to prayerfully and quietly support a Culture of Life, from natural conception to natural death.
