What are Life Nights?

Life Nights are the foundation of our youth ministry.  They are for teens in 9th-12th grade.  These weekly sessions are on Sundays during the school year, normally starting with 5:30pm Mass and ending at 8:30pm.  After gathering at the Table of the Lord, we share another meal together, generally in the cafeteria, as part of our community building.  Each Life Night includes prayer, catechesis, and community building.  Studies are clear: belonging leads to believing.  We endeavor to foster a sense of belonging in our teens so that they will engage not only in parish life, but in a relationship with Christ.
