What is Life Teen?
Life Teen is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church that leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. Our Life Teen group is open to all teenagers regardless of the school they attend or the sacraments they have received.
Generation Z (those who were born between 1995 and 2015) is unlike any other generation before them. Facing the reality that young people are becoming less religious, are less likely than ever before to claim a religious identity, and are no longer beaing raised with a Christian worldview, we are taking an entirely new approach to how we talk about religion an our Catholic faith with high school teens.
Before they can care about what the Church teaches, they need to know that God exists. Before we can teach them details about morality, they need to know that there is absolute truth. Before we can expect them to be excited or invested in the Mass and the sacraments, they need to know Jesus. Our Life Teen Youth Group will be full of Catholic teachings, doctrines, devotions, and practices, but focuses on an evangelistic message to help teenagers encounter Jesus Christ through the big questions they ask and through topics that are especially relevant to young people.Click HERE to register for Life Teen High School Youth Group
What is Youth Group going to look like this year?
Youth group will start on August 22, 2022. We will meet each Monday from 7:00 - 8:30 pm for a Life Night. These nights will consist of games, a teaching, small group discussions, and an opportunity to encounter Christ through prayer.
Our first series this fall is called Highways and Halos. Our pathway to holiness is called our "vocation." Vocation comes from the Latin root vocare, which means "to call." Our vocation is our calling. We may have heard the word vocation used to explain people drawn to the priesthood, religious life, marriage, or single life. While we all have these personal vocations, we also all share a universal vocation, or calling, which is to holiness. Thankfully we can look to examples of the saints for inspiration in our own personal journey. The goal of Highways and Halos is for teens to understand their current universal vocation and explore the possibilities of their personal vocations through the lives of the saints.
We welcome you to our Youth Ministry family! Community is more important now than ever, and we look forward to seeing what great plans God has in store this year. We are here to walk alongside you, so please feel free to email Kaitlyn anytime with questions at kkennedy@standrewcc.org.
Gentle reminder….. Our confirmation classes will complement our LIFE-long Youth Group setting on Monday evenings. Youth who are interested in receiving their Sacrament of Confirmation or have already received it should also be enrolled in Youth Group. More information on Confirmation coming soon.
