LIFETEEN Mass Pictures Musicians Cool Links
     

Let me introduce myself to you!  My name is Margo Burke and I will be leading the high school teens towards a more private, personal relationship with our God.  I have been a volunteer at this church for about 18 years.  My two daughters who are now 27 and 20 years old were very active in LifeTeen and really loved it.  They had a lot of fun on trips, helping the poor, reaching out to the community and growing closer to Jesus.  Because of their experience I want other teens in this parish to continue with the LifeTeen Mass and Youth Group.

 

Please call me at 203-641-8878 with any questions, comments ideas or concerns!

 

Open invitation to all teens - make the Life Teen Mass YOUR Mass.  We are working to make this Mass a reflection of you and how you worship our Lord so please join in.  Eventually we will be having Life Nights again after the Life Teen Mass Sunday Nights @ 6:15 PM till 8 PM.

If you play any instrument or have a good singing voice, think about coming to help out with the Youth Mass band.  We need you guys to add depth to the band!  Singers and instruments welcome.  Practice is on Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m. in the Church.  We arrive at 4:00 p.m. on Sundays before Mass.  We also need ushers to pass out bulletins and help collect all the songbooks after Mass.  Lets keep it organized, fun and growing!!!

 Life Teen parish programs are the most far-reaching ministry of Life Teen. A true judge of an effective Life Teen program is their Sunday nights:

 

1. The Life Teen Mass
At the weekly Life Teen Mass, teens and their families experience the depths of God's love through the Word, the community, and the Eucharist. Relevant preaching and quality music bring the Catholic Mass to life.

2. LIFE Night
Following the Life Teen Mass, trained youth ministers and CORE members lead the teens deeper into their Catholic faith in the LIFE Night experience. As a faith community, the teens grow in understanding of what it means to be young and Catholic in the new millennium. The teens are affirmed, educated, and challenged to live the Gospel.
