Youth Ministry


All high school teenagers are encouraged to participate in this program. Just a little information on what our Life Teen Program has to offer our teenagers.
 
LIFE TEEN is a comprehensive parish-based youth ministry program designed to minister to high school teens of all faiths from a uniquely Catholic perspective. Attempting to reach teens on spiritual, emotional, and social levels, Life Teen responds to the teenagers need to be loved and accepted in a day and age where many young people experience a sense of hopelessness about their future and lack of meaning and direction in their lives. LIFE TEEN encourages teens to embark on a journey of faith and relationship with God through Jesus Christ. At the hear of the LIFE TEEN PROGRAM is the weekly celebration of the Mass. Life Teen leads teenagers into authentic and full celebration of God in the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Teens experience Christ's power and love through praise, prayer and breaking open the Word of God in a Mass designed to speak to the hearts of the teens. All are welcome as teens gather around the altar to take part in the Eucharistic meal.
 
The second component of the Life Teen Program is the weekly Life Night that follows the Life Mass. Led by a Core Group of adults, the teens experience faith through educational, social, spiritual, and issue nights that speak to the full array of topics teens need to grow in faith and relationship with Christ.
 
Some of our goals for the next year include: Hire a qualified Parish Youth Minister - Increase the number of teens participating in the Life Teen Program - Establish a well-designed community outreach/social action/service component to the Life Teen Program - become more financially self-sufficient - create a Life Teen/Youth Ministry Office or space used for its activities.
 
Anyone wishing more information about Life Teen or to find out how you can help is asked to contact Fr. Michael at the rectory 228-4331 or Cyndi or John Avender 346-9308.
