What is Life Teen?

Why Life Teen?At Life Teen we are committed to serving the youth of our parish, their friends, and families. Teenagers can face difficult times in life, so we provide a safe space for them to form life-giving friendships, ask questions, serve others, and most of all build and strengthen their relationship with God. We also want to be there to celebrate the great moments in our teens lives too!
We as a Life Teen ministry are Eucharist-centered, actively inviting youth to live as disciples of Jesus daily, and to fully participate in the life of the Church. We aim to care for the total well-being of every student that comes in contact with the ministry. |
What kind of things do you do?

"I send you out on the great mission of evangelizing young men and women who have gone astray in this world like sheep without a shepherd. Be apostles of youth! Invite them to walk with you, to have the same experience of faith, hope, and love; to encounter Jesus so that they may feel truly loved, accepted, able to realize their full potential." - Pope Benedict XVI
We're always trying new ways to reach teens in a way that matters to them, like Benedict XVI's words above describe. In everything we do, that is our goal - while having as much fun as humanly possible!
