WHAT IS LIFE TEEN?
Life Teen is a Catholic youth ministry program used by over 1,800 parishes around the world! It is a powerful ministry whose goal is to bring teens closer to Christ. This liturgy-centered ministry engages teens where they are and helps them navigate the teachings of the Church in their everyday lives. The goal of Life Teen is to help students encounter Christ and grow in relationship with Him. It is not a classroom, but the students will experience teachings, small groups, service, social nights, Bible Study and more. All high school teens are encouraged to attend and new faces are always welcome!
Registration coming soon!
LIFE NIGHTS
SUNDAY | 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM | PARISH HALL(Begins August 16. See calendar at the bottom of this page for more details.)
Life Nights are weekly youth ministry nights where teens come together in community for fun, faith, and discussion. In weekly Life Nights, teens are challenged to engage in conversation about what we believe as Catholics and what it means for them as teens.
A typical youth night includes:
- Gather: Everyone is invited to come together for a meal and social time from 6 - 6:30 pm. This is a great opportunity for students to grow in community by breaking bread together, playing games, and hanging out.
- Proclaim: Teens hear the main teaching of the night in an engaging way through speakers, videos, skits, and other aids. These teachings aren’t long and boring but relate to the students and their lives.
- Small Groups: In small groups, teens continue the conversation and talk about how the teaching applies to them personally. Small groups allow the teens to ask questions, discuss difficulties, and engage with their peers with the guidance of an adult leader.
- Send: At the end of the night teens come together for final remarks, announcements, and closing prayer.
This format may vary from time to time in order for the teens to truly understand the lesson.

SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
As Catholics we are called to serve our brothers and sisters. Life Teen has many opportunities for students to serve at the parish and in the community.
Service Saturdays:
Once a month (typically on the last Saturday) Life Teen teams up with the parish’s Outreach Committee to serve others in our community. This is a great opportunity for families to serve together! Most months, all ages are welcome with a parent or high school teens may sign up on their own. Drivers and chaperones are always needed - see signup below.
**Please note all participants must RSVP and have a signed permission form.
