The Youth Ministry/LIFETEEN Program is “different” from Religious Education. The High School students from St Mary’s and St Michael’s join together for a time of faith, fellowship and fun.
The youth also participate in mission work, group outings, bible studies, etc.

Please encourage your high schoolers to try attending one of the “lifenights” and see what it is all about.. (if it helps, they can bring a friend along)

Youth/Life Teen Nights - Sundays from 7:00 p.m.-8:30 p.m. at St. Michael’s.. All High School students are welcome, Bring a friend!
