Requirements & Expectations for Life Teen
Teens grades 9-12 should attend as many Life Nights as possibleProgram Overview:LifeTeen is for teenagers in grades 9-12. As teens are faced with many pressures and joys as they become young adults, LifeTeen helps provide a deep understanding of their Catholic identity, and offers many opportunities for teenagers to grow and nurture a close relationship with Jesus Christ through the Sacraments, particularly Confirmation, which high school students receive their senior year.
Life Teen is a comprehensive youth ministry based on, focused on, and directed .towards the Eucharist. With a youth oriented Mass and Life Night, high school teens are placed in an environment to fully experience the greatest gift we hae as a Catholic Church
Life Teen is a movement of the Holy Spirit that seeks to serve the Greater Church. Founded in 1985 at St. Timothy's parish in Mesa, ZA, Life Teen has grown one parish at a time into a worldwide program that impacts thousands of teens every year. There are currently over 1000 parishes in more than 20 countries.
We began as a tri-parish ministry in 2009. Parishes involved are Corpus Christi, St. Joseph and Ss. Peter and Paul. The summer of 2014 we became quad parish adding Holy Name of Mary to our mix! Teens are attracted to the ministry because it offers them truth and experience. Teaching teens about the truth in line with the theology of the Catholic Church is how the ministry educates through creative Bible studies, discussions and personal experiences. Providing powerful liturgies for teens and their families is how the program helps them experience the power and love of Christ in the Eucharist, the Word of God and each other.
Life Teen serves as the high school Religious Education program. We run September through May and offer weekly Life Nights and Sunday evening Masses.
Sturgeon Bay Life Teen is also service based. We offer monthly service projects for the teens to get involved in mission work on a local level. We also go on an annual mission trip to another state in the summer. The teens spend time rebuilding homes and hope while spreading God's love and
forgiveness.
