LIFE TEEN

CLICK ON THE CALENDAR IN THE BOX ON THE RIGHT ======>>>>>

LIFE TEEN is a Roman Catholic youth ministry program designed to reach high school teens with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It uses games and activities, dynamic teachings, social events, retreats, Bible studies, music, adoration, and much more to show teens that Jesus Christ and His Church are relevant to their lives, and that their youth, energy, and enthusiasm are gifts to our Church. The Coordinator of Youth Ministry and a group of  adults (the CORE team) work to share with high school teens the truth of Christ and the joy of walking in fellowship with Him every day.

LIFE TEEN is faithful to the teaching authority of the Catholic Church, and strives to inspire teens to live faithful, vibrant Catholic lives. Life Teen covers such topics and issues such as: the Person of Christ; Sacraments; Catholic morality; the Bible; and current “hot-button” topics the teens deal with every day, such as alcohol and drug abuse, premarital sex, and respect for human life. 

There is no formal registration process for Life Teen, and while the teachings are always in accordance with Catholic doctrine, teens of all faiths (or no faith) are welcome to attend. For more information, contact the Coordinator of Youth Ministry at (480) 595-0883, or e-mail at youthministry@stgacc.org.
