What is Life Teen?

Life Teen is a Catholic high school youth ministry program that is committed to providing our teens with the best possible opportunities for personal and spiritual growth through catechesis (religious education), fellowship, service, outreach, and leadership.

All high school teens are invited to Life Teen! 

Following the Youth Mass on Sundays, we meet for dinner followed by our program for the night – could be games, small group time, praise and worship. All Life Nights are for the purpose of providing opportunities for our teens to explore their faith and form friendships with other Catholic teens who are also walking the journey of discipleship.

Time: 6:30PM to 8:30PM

Location: Parish Center Family Room
