Life Teen is a comprehensive youth ministry program based on, focused on, and directed toward the Eucharist. Each week, at a youth orientated Mass and Life Night, high school teens are placed in an environment to fully experience the greatest gift we have as a Catholic Church. You will see that each Life Teen program is different. Environments differ, cultures differ and the number of teens and families within each parish differ. But with this variety, every program has the potential to lead teens closer to Christ--and thats why all of us are here. Life Teen is a movement of the Holy Spirit which seeks to serve the greater Church. Founded in 1985 at St. Timothy's parish in Mesa, Arizona, Life Teen has grown one parish at a time into a worldwide program that impacts thousands of teens every year. There are currently over 1000 parishes in more than 20 countries.
