Youth@SJN - Middle & High School Youth Ministry
“One million Catholics will be Confirmed in the United States this year: 85% of them will eventually stop attending Sunday Mass.” (www.dynamiccatholic.com) This statistic is astonishing. The future of our faith is in the hands of our youth, and the source and summit of this faith comes from the Mass! We need to encourage Catholics to be Eucharist-centered! We need to encourage Catholics to inspire the youth! We need something to engage these teens…
In a 2010 survey conducted by the USCCB, we found that 49% of U.S. vocations to the priesthood participated in Life Teen. This is an incredible number, considering that Life Teen and Edge are only implemented in 8.3% of U.S. parishes. (Core Member Handbook, Life Teen)
How do we lead teens into a relationship with Our Lord? How do we teach teens to appreciate our beautiful faith? Life Teen answers these questions.
