Life Teen Mass is a youth-orientated liturgy that provides a cultural connection for the teens through the homily, music, and the community. The youth liturgy allows teens to build a faith community and to take ownership of their faith so it is not just their "parents' thing" anymore. Teens are invited to develop a relationship with Jesus that is both personal and real. Teens today often describe the Mass as "boring." The youth Mass is anything but boring. You will find that families and people of all ages attend this Mass. It becomes an inter-generational Mass, not only life-giving to teens, but to all parishioners. it is an opportunity to connect teens with the greater Church.
This description came from the National Life Teen distributed CORE Handbook
LIFE TEEN MASS TIMES & INFORMATION Mass starts at 5:30 p.m. The Mass is usually about one hour and twenty to thirty minutes long. The liturgy changes weekly...sometimes adding scripture-based drama presentations, interactive homilies, fun and wacky announcements for teens or guest speakers. The liturgy planning team is made up of all three STM Priests, the Director of Music, the Drama Coordinator and the Directors of Life Teen. Usually about once or twice a year, the team will invite specific teens or adults to join them in planning sessions.
