Congratulations, OMOS Teen Leaders!

The Annual Pope John Paul II Youth Recognition Award is designed to recognize those teens that have made significant contributions to parish/school life by demonstrating leadership qualities and extraordinary commitment over a period of time. Three teens from OMOS were selected and received JPII Awards from Bishop Kicanas at a banquet and celebration that was held April 5th at St. Frances de Sales. 

Awards went to:  Sarah Tanberg, for serving as an outstanding peer leader in Catechesis and Evangelization; Christopher Delgado, for his dedication to Community Service and Social Justice; and Jeremy Covell for sharing his gifts in Prayer and Worship as a Lector.  Each received a special bronze medallion with the likeness of John Paul II.  The teens will be presented their certificates at the 6PM Mass on Sunday, April 13th.
