LifeTeen
Welcome to the St. Matthew Youth Ministry page!
For all students in high school, or those after receiving Confirmation in 8th grade, youth faith formation continues with our LifeTeen program!
As a Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church, Life Teen leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, Life Teen seeks to unleash the fullness of the Sacramental power present within the young Church.
Plus pizza, games, sports and fun!

September 13 - LifeTeen Semester Kick-Off
September 20 - First Life Night: We begin our semester by considering where we are. We will wrestle with sin and its effect in our lives to identify what we are up against and what is hurting our relationships more than anything else. Come join us for dinner, games, and a worthwhile discussion.
September 27 - Life Night [Free Gift]: After accounting for sin and its effects, we celebrate the hope for freedom that Christ won for us and continues to give us regularly through the Sacraments, the free gifts of grace that are active in our lives. We will meet again at 6:30, and dinner will be provided.
October 4 - Life Night [Matching Up]: This Sunday at LifeTeen, we will face the reality of hypocrisy and the need in our world for sincerity that brings all of our thoughts, actions, and desires into harmony.
