Lifeteen
"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 TEEN
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 Night experience."
