What is Life Teen?
Life Teen is a dynamic youth ministry program, centered on the Mass and Eucharist, with music and preaching geared
towards teens. We celebrate mass every Sunday evening at 6:00pm, followed by a Life-Night. The Life-Nights are
specifically geared to High School aged teens, where teens explore their faith and the issues they face daily.
Through high-energy music, creative skits, and humor, Life Teen makes learning about our Catholic faith fun.
What is the goal of Life Teen?
To lead teens closer to Christ, by building a community where teens will feel loved and accepted, and have a place
where they can truly be themselves. Teens are empowered to live their faith daily, while fostering a deeper
relationship with Jesus Christ.
How does Life Teen work?
Life Teen is a comprehensive model of youth ministry, ministering to the teen's spiritual, educational, emotional,
and social needs. The heart of the ministry is the Core team. They are volunteers willing to invest in the lives of
the teens, building relationships with them. By supporting the teens in their activities, such as attending their
sporting events or music recitals, as well as leading them on retreats and mentoring them at Life nights.
