Based on the initial observations of researchers in carrying out Week End Pastoral (WEP), OMK in Rayon IV Parish of the Holy Cross of West Nias, was very lacking in giving themselves to be involved in church life activities. This is caused by the development of technology that continues to grow and the freedom of parents towards their children. This study aims to find out who OMK is and to find out the active involvement of OMK in church life in Rayon IV West Nias Holy Cross Parish. This study uses a qualitative method.
