Register for Life Teen now!

Life Teen is an international, Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church that leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship wtih Jesus Christ and His Church. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Life Teen empowers teenagers to become disciples and proclaim the Gospel to the ends of the earth.
 

Who: All teens, 9th through 12th grade

What: We host a Catholic youth ministry program designed specifically for teens. Our gatherings are organized to meet the unique spiritual, catechetical, and social needs of high schoolers. Our program includes large and small group discussion, talks, games, activities, prayer, and service.  

Why: We seek to unleash the fullness of the Sacramental power present within the young Church in being Eucharist-centered and through the intercession and guidance of our Blessed Virgin Mary.  Our goal is to build a place where everyone is welcomed and loved, and to build deep, lasting, personal relationships with each other, our Church, and most importantly, Jesus Christ.

Adult Volunteers: Without parents, young adults and adult volunteers, it is impossible to provide a comprehensive youth ministry program for the teens of St. Cecilia Parish. Please contact Amanda Jewett about being an adult volunteer.

Tenative Calendar (given current COVID-19 restrictions)

We will have a hybrid program (a mix of in-person and virtual gatherings) for the time being, until it is safer to gather in person more frequently.
Please note, masks are currently required for all in-person gatherings.
Additionally, we will be hosting a Study Hall for middle and high school students in our ABC Room on Mondays, 3 -5 pm with ping pong, Wii games, snacks, and tutoring available. Other off-site social gatherings (Corn Maze, Bowling, retreat, etc.) will be added as able.
As always, feel free to send Amanda any feedback or suggestions you might have during this time as we navigate ministry within the confines of a pandemic. Be sure to subscribe to our Flocknote group below to be up to date with all information.
Full tentative schedule is listed below.
