Today our youth receive many messages about the world in which we live. It can be a very confusing time for young people. The media often presents the success of life to be measured by personal wealth, overall appearance and popularity. Adults as well as teens are often troubled by these mixed messages. The temptations and pressures todays teens are bombarded with can be over-whelming. Being a teenager has never been harder. Learning to deal with the responsibilities of independence can be liberating as well as confusing.
St Joan of Arc offers a ministry called LIFE TEEN, which is designed to give high school teens the tools needed to make choices pleasing to God in a world filled with temptations. We want our teens to remember that God is an ever present source of guidance, love, forgiveness and strength. That we are loved unconditionally by our creator.
LIFE TEEN provides weekly teachings and discussions on various topics affecting our high school teens today. A team of core members offer suggestions and opportunites through fun skits, games, scripture, reflection, prayer and music that ultimately lead the teens closer to Christ. Periodically, feild trips, dances, game night, movies and social nights are planned for the teens and core to blow off some steam and have fun together.
LIFE TEEN meets every Sunday following 5:00 mass from 6:15 - 8:00 pm. If you are a high school teen or know one, we invite you to experience LIFE TEEN.
