What is Life Teen: “What is needed today is a church which knows how to respond to the expectations of young people. Jesus wants to have dialogue with them, and through His body, which is the church, to propose the possibility of a choice, which will require a commitment of their lives. As Jesus with the disciples of Emmaus, so the church must become the traveling companion of young people…”
Evangelization and Catechesis are two primary tasks of the Church and of a successful youth ministry program. Life Teen seeks to accompany teens in a real relationship with Christ and build the foundation for lifelong discipleship. Life Teen is comprehensive connecting them to the life of the entire parish and infusing the surrounding community with the light of Christ. We are called to “go forth and love and serve the Lord and one another.” Life Teen at Holy Cross is accompanying teens in 9th and 10th grade closer to Christ by reaching teens, restoring parishes, and reclaiming culture. You are invited to be part of this movement today. Life Teen is a comprehensive youth ministry, meaning it is both used as a catechetical tool for Sunday night and sacramental prep, but also used to disciple teens through the processes of evangelization.
TUESDAY NIGHT DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS These nights are geared for high school teens small faith communities. The night is formatted with a meal, teaching, and community. Forming Disciples and leaders within the Life Teen community. We meet every Tuesday except days that we do not meet for Life Teen on Sunday. THREE FORMATS:
Unleashed Discipleship Take teenagers deeper as disciples and prepare them to be sent out as missionaries. Each small group gathering is focused on an apologetic and formational theme, perfect for evangelized teenagers desiring to learn how to share and defend their faith.
Summit Discipleship Sunday readings while forming teenagers as disciples. Weekly small group gatherings designed around themes from the Sunday readings.
Eucharistic Adoration 2nd Thursday of every month in the Church.
