Comprehensive Youth Ministry

In obedience to the document “Renewing the Vision: A Framework for Catholic Youth Ministry” by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.

 

The LIFE TEEN Program encourages teens to embark on a journey of faith in a relationship with God through Jesus Christ and His Church. At a weekly 5:00pm LIFE TEEN Family Mass, high school teens and their families experience the depths of God's love through the Word, the teen community, and the Eucharist. Following the Mass, trained youth ministers and core members lead the teens deeper into their Catholic faith in the LIFE Night experience, which includes nights that are educational, spiritual, social, and issue oriented. Teens grow as a faith community, growing in understanding of what it means to be young and Catholic in the world today. LIFE TEEN runs throughout the entire year with many nights, retreats and conferences for teenagers and their families.
