LIFE TEEN
A Youth Ministry


LIFE TEEN is a national, Catholic Centered Program, open to all teens (Grades 9-12) of all faiths. This program takes spiritual, educational, social, and emotional care of teens.

T eens Come:If you are wondering what LIFE TEEN is all about, if you want to get more involved, if you want to strengthen your relationship with Christ, come join us. LIFE TEEN is a place to be with your friends and learn more about your faith. We can experience Christ's power and love through praise, prayer and sharing the word of God in music and Scripture at Mass.

All high school teens are welcome. Bring a friend!
You'll meet the core members and band members. We start to gather at 4:30pm in St. Mary's Church. Mass begins at 5:00pm. Mass will be followed by "Life Night". At Life Night we'll learn about our faith and have some fun too! We are looking forward to meeting you and hope to see you there! LIFE TEEN Staff, Support Team, Core Members & Band Members.
