Life Teen relies on the core values of Eucharistic Spirituality, love, joy, affirmation, authenticity, evangelization, and primary vocation. The program focuses on truth, experience, and acceptance.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has numerous resources that can be useful in relaying the value and importance of attending Confession. Many times fear, trepidation, and anxiety prevents us from experiencing this wonderful Sacrament and the healing that it provides. Take a moment to visit their webpage at, http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacraments-and-sacramentals/penance/ you will find numerous articles and other material that I know will be useful when speaking about this Sacrament.

Youth Ministry is important in the life of the Church! In this grace-filled moment, you and I are called, by the Lord, to do this important ministry.
It is an exciting time to do Youth Ministry in this 'moment of grace,' especially with the election of Pope Francis. His humility, simplicity, and example are prompting the world, especially among young people, to give the Church a 'second look'.
This resources page is that of the vision of Catholic Youth Ministry in our Catholic Church.

Learn about the lives of ordinary people who did extraordinary things. These people went on to be recognized as Saints of our Catholic Church. If they became one, who says you cannot be one too?
