The purpose of the Life Teen Program is to create an environment that leads high school teenagers into a relationship with God through spiritual, educational, emotional, and social experiences. The Life Teen Mass, Sunday night at 5 p.m., is centered on the Eucharist, with spirit-filled music, and is by teens for teens. Immediately following, join us for Life Night.
Life Teen will have in-person Life Nights on Sunday from 6:30-8:00 pm during the school year. The teens may choose to attend the Tuesday Night Bible Study instead of, or in addition to, Life Nights.
Life Nights/Bible StudyLife Nights begin September 18, 2022
Calendar
For dates and times of class nights, bible studies, Friday morning coffee, and other happenings, check out the Life Teen Calendar.
Teen Confirmation
Teen Confirmation is open to students in 9th-12th grade. Any student wanting to be Confirmed this school year must have been in attendance in a Faith Formation program one school year prior to their Confirmation year. (Enrollment at a Catholic school fulfills this requirement.) Teens must also be currently enrolled and attending Life Nights or Bible Study. Refer to the Teen Confirmation webpage for details.
For more information on any of our High School programs, please contact our Life Teen Coordinator, Logan Mayes. We are here to assist families in the faith formation of their youth.

Life Teen Core Values
Eucharistic Spirituality
Life Teen Spirituality can best be understood through our seven Core Values. Let's start with #1, our Eucharistic Spirituality. At the Last Supper, Jesus lifted up bread and wine and proclaimed to his disciples that he was offering His Body and Blood. For over 2000 years, Catholics have continued this tradition by celebrating Mass and receiving Jesus in a unique way. We at Life Teen believe that a solid Catholic faith must be centered on the Eucharist. It is the source and summit of our faith.
Love
They'll know we're Christians by our love. This world is consumed with hate and envy. We hope that all teenagers who show up at Life Teen at our parish will know that they're loved.
Joy
Who says Catholicism has to be boring? We believe that Jesus is a reason to be joyful and excited about life. You can guarantee that everything we do will be a good time for everyone.
Affirmation
People are always telling you what you're not. But at Life Teen, our core value of Affirmation reminds us that Jesus showed us a different way. We encourage one another, support one another, and pick each other up when we get knocked down. We're in this together.
Authenticity
Tired of wearing the masks? Tired of fake people? We are too. That's why Life Teen has made it a core value to live an authentic life. We don't pretend we're perfect. We recognize that we're all sinners and we need God. This means we're able to be honest and vulnerable with one another. We want to be REAL with one another.
Evangelization
We believe that every teenager deserves a chance to have a relationship with Jesus. That's why we're not content hiding in our churches hoping for people to fill our pews. We're want to boldly enter the streets and invite everyone--young and old--to grow closer to God.
Primary Vocation
Sometimes it's easy to get distracted by all the work that needs to be done in the world. That's why the adults who are involved in Life Teen are expected to keep their vocation their #1 priority. So if you're a married youth minister, take care of your family first. If you're a priest or a religious brother or sister, don't become so consumed in youth ministry that you forget God called you first to Him, and second to serving his people.
