What is Life Teen?

Life Teen is an international Catholic movement that serves the Church by providing proven resources and faith experiences that help lead teens closer to Christ.  This is accomplished through a vibrant Eucharistic spirituality and by creating widespread opportunities for teens to grow in their faith.

It is a weekly program offered at St. Basil on Sunday nights which begins with a Life Teen Mass at 5:30pm, and is followed by a Life Night event from 6:30-8:00pm.

Trained adults (called Core members in Life Teen) lead the teens deeper into their Catholic faith in the Life Night experience.  Teens grow as a faith community through experiencing what it means to be a young Catholic in today’s world.  Through a four-year curriculum, Life Teen serves as the catechetical component for High School teens.  Two weekend retreat opportunities are offered each year, as well as many additional service and faith-based opportunities such as service trips and youth conferences.

Life Teen is 100% Catholic.  It started as a youth group at St. Timothy's in Mesa, Arizona, and has grown into the most prolific youth ministry in the Catholic Church.  Every Sunday, 120,000 teenagers attend a Life Teen Mass. There are currently 1,080 Life Teen programs which stretch around the globe into 23 countries.
