Teens we have big plans this year, and they all start off with our
High School KICK-OFF
Sept. 21st 5-8PM
Sunday night Fellowship: Every Sunday @ 7PM (meets unless otherwise notified)
Sunday Night Fellowship will range from themed nights, to open gym, to movies, to guest speakers, even off-site activities like the teen Super Bowl party and Christmas caroling (usually hosted by a family) SNF runs Oct.-May.
CLC’s: Every Monday @ 7:30PM for Girls’ - Every Wednesday @7:30PM for Boys’ (ongoing)
Catholic Life Communities (CLC) are single-sex, small communities of faith for high school students designed to provide teens with spiritual support and positive moral peer pressure. CLCs meet regularly throughout the year. (meets in Youth Room or C102)
Youth Mass/Service Activity: 10/5, 11/2, 12/7, 1/4, 2/8, 3/8, No April Youth Mass, 5/3
Youth Mass held at 6PM, usually the first Sunday of each month, is open to all teens and their families. Teens take an active role in mass serving the Lord together in Holy Mass. Afterwards they serve their community, and put social gospel into action, as they take part in a service activity with their Jr. High Peers.
Morality A Response to God’s Love: Tuesdays 7:15PM- 8:30PM (Oct. 7th through Mar. 10th)
We are pleased to offer a course in Catholic Morality for teenagers. This course puts practical and real life issues to the test as it discusses not what we believe, but why. It presents issues relevant to today's students, such as decision making, human dignity, material possessions, addiction, sexuality, violence, family life, and justice.
H.S. Workcamp 2009: (Workcamp runs the week of June 21st - June 27th )
This year we have the pleasure of serving the community of Elmira, NY. Each year we, after several fundraisers, send 50 teenagers to work and serve for a week in different communities of need. Spaces fill up quickly!
1st info meeting – Oct. 30 @ 7PM
