What
is “Life Teen?”
The Life Teen program is a complete,
comprehensive and interactive model of religious formation.
Through youth friendly Liturgies, Life Nights, weekly activities, service
opportunities, teen 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).
