What is Life Teen?
Life Teen is an international Catholic movement that serves the Church and leads teens closer to Christ by providing resources and training that encourages vibrant Eucharistic celebrations and opportunities for teens to grow in their faith.
How is this mission accomplished?
The mission of Life Teen is accomplished by:- The celebration of the Eucharist
- The teachings of Christ and the Church
- An experience of being loved and accepted within the community

At St. Mary of the Falls, our teens have many opportunities to grow in faith and deepen relationships in the community. Some examples include:

- Weekly Life Nights following the 6pm Mass

As a teen, you can get involved with Life Teen at any time. It's as easy as joining us for 6pm Sunday Mass or a Life Night to learn more!
