Life Teen

As a Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church, Life Teen leads high-school teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, Life Teen seeks to unleash the fullness of the Sacramental power present within the young Church. Grades 9-12.

St. Thomas the Apostle’s Life Teen is designed with the intent to lead teens closer to Christ. Our Sunday evenings kick off with the Eucharistic Liturgy Service at 5 PM. This "Teen" Mass has a more teen-focused homily and an amazing worship band.  This is followed by Life Nights, an experience focused on faith development. 

The message of Jesus is kept relevant. Teens hear the fuller truth of the gospel and that Truth impacts their life. Faith is explored in relevant ways. Every effort is made to provide teens with personal experiences of God’s love in their life. Sunday evenings are absolutely eventful.

Life Night is not a program! It is a commitment to not ignore teens and recognize their needs. As we share the beauty of the Church with them, they see how their Christian faith is relevant to every aspect of their lives.

St. Thomas the Apostle Life Teen will host a series of in-person afternoon “Life Nights” at 1:00 PM in O’Leary Hall. In addition, there will be a monthly XLT at 6:30 PM in the Church.

Senior year glory days were definitely different than any of our high school seniors could have imagined. The coronavirus may have robbed them of spring sports, concerts, theatre, prom, and graduation ceremony, but it hasn’t taken away our sense of pride in them.

Congratulations Class of 2021! May you be guided by the gift of faith, may you never stop hoping in your dreams and the promise of Christ to be with you, and may God’s grace guide you to know His love, that you might become the very best version of yourselves.
