Life Teen
Life Teen is our high school youth ministry for grades 9-12. It is also the first year of formation for those students seeking to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Life Teen is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church, which leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. Life Teen nights begin with Mass on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m., followed by dinner and a Life Night meeting from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the McDonald Family Center.
See schedule below for the school year.
Registration for 2021-2022 is open for those wanting to join Life Teen.
Those wanting to join Confirmation Preparation, will need to begin that next Fall,
as we are already well into the year of preparation this year.
All high school students, in grades 9-12 are welcome to attend Life Teen, even if not preparing for Confirmation.

High School Confirmation
Our Confirmation program is a two-year program, beginning with one year of formation through our Life Teen program, followed by the second year of our Purpose Confirmation program. Purpose is a transformative approach to confirmation. Multiple components combine impactful curriculum with a powerful digital tool to enhance communication. Coupled with engaging supplementary material for teens and parents, Purpose is more than just a resource. It is a whole new approach to sacramental preparation. It helps teens to intellectually and spiritually receive the Sacrament of Confirmation and to become lifelong disciples of Christ. All too often we see teens drift away from the Church after Confirmation. Purpose seeks to reverse this trend by winning over the hearts of teens at a critical time in their lives and keeping them firmly planted within the faith community of the Church.
See schedule below for the school year.Registration for 2021-2022 is now closed.
