LIFE TEEN has created a systematic and engaging curriculum that follows the United States Conference of Catholic Bishop's (USCCB) framework for high school catechesis. This international Catholic movement serves the Church by providing resources and faith experiences that help lead teens closer to Christ. This is accomplished through a vibrant Eucharistic spirituality and by creating widespread opportunities for teens to grow in their faith.
The program - for youth in grades 9–12 - will provide opportunities for teens to learn about the Catholic faith, while spending time with other young people who strive to live an active Catholic life. Each week will consist of music, teachings based on the faith themes put forth by the Archdiocese, small group processing time, food, games, prayer and fellowship. We hope that all youth, from both public and private schools, will join us in growing their faith answering the call to be disciples of Jesus Christ. In this way, they will strengthen the "young" Church of St. Angela Merici.
High School Youth Post Confirmation will attend LifeTeen as part of the BEYOND program. Read more about Beyond here
We have established a team of adults whose focus is to plan and implement the components of the LIFE nights, including (but not necessarily limited to) proclaiming teaching sessions, serving as small group leaders, and praying with and for the teens. We are always happy to accept as volunteers adults willing to serve Sunday evenings in any of the following capacities. We would like to have a mix of parents, young adults and senior adults; single and married who wish to lead our teens by example.
