About LIFE TEEN
LIFE TEEN is a comprehensive program designed to minister to high school
teens of all faiths from a uniquely Catholic base. Attempting to reach
teens on spiritual, emotional and social levels, LIFE TEEN responds to
their 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
meaning and direction for their lives.
To provide this direction, LIFE TEEN encourages
teens to embark on a journey of faith and relationship with God through
Jesus Christ. At a weekly LIFE Mass, teens enter into authentic and full
worship of God with a faith community of peers, families and adult
ministers. Teens experience Christ's power and love through praise,
prayer and breaking open the Word of God in scripture. All are welcome
as teens gather around the altar to take part in a Eucharistic meal or
receive a special blessing. Following the Mass, teens meet with trained
youth ministers and core members to learn about their faith in
challenging ways through the LIFE TEEN Night experience.
