What is “Life Teen?”
The Life Teen program is a complete, comprehensive and interactive model of religious formation. Through youth friendly Liturgies (12:15PM Mass), Life meetings, weekly activities, service, leadership and outreach activities teens learn more about their Catholic faith and grow to love the Sacraments, the Word, and the Mass. At a parish with the Life Teen program clergy, youth minister, music ministry and a Core team of volunteers build an environment where teens feel loved, accepted, and challenged to go deeper in their faith.
Teens learn about the Mass by being “full, active and conscious” members of the community. Teens not only engage in the liturgy, but also serve as leaders of hospitality, altar servers, lectors, ushers, musicians, vocalists and, when allowed, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist. “Mother Church earnestly desires that all the faithful should be led to that fully conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations which is demanded by the very nature of the liturgy” (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 14).
