LIFE TEEN - High School Youth Ministry (Grades 9-12)

The Life Teen Mass is a high-energy Catholic Mass aimed to engage the teenagers and all parishioners in full active participation in the Mass.  Due to Covid 19 the Life Teen Mass  is not currently being offered at St. Stephen's, however we hope to be able to resume when classes begin this fall.

Life Teen:  is for all youth in grades 9-10-11-12 
Begins on Sunday, October 31, 2021.
 Youth will gather following the Sunday evening Mass for a variety of activities with their peers.
They will meet in small groups and have opportunities to participate in activities both on site and off site throughout the year.  There will be social activities  and service opportunities as well as small group short series on different topics, apologetics classes, bible studies, Living Stations, Retreats, Deanery and Archdiocese events, Steubenville Youth Conference, Youth Mission week, and more.

Confirmation Program:   High school youth that have not yet been Confirmed that would like to prepare to receive the Sacramant of Confirmation will need to register for Life Teen and contact Debbie Blomquist for additional information regarding the high school Confirmation program at St. Stephen the Martyr Parish.  sstm.youth@gmail.com

Registration  *   Begins August 15, 2021.  
Online registration is required  for all high school youth  (grades 9-10-11-12) who wish to participate in the Life Teen Youth Ministry and Confirmation programs at St. Stephen the Martyr Parish. To register, click here.

 

Adult volunteers are always needed to serve as Core Team Members, engaging the youth in community and helping the youth to make the connection between faith and their everyday life.

Core Team Members must be at least four years older than the youth that they are working with. 

At St. Stephen's we  have the opportunity to journey with children and youth ages 5 - 18.  

We are in need of small group leaders for the many different opportunities that will be offered this year.

• Do you like to study the Bible or learn the why behind the what we believe as Catholics? 
• Do you like to serve the poor and those in need? 
• Do you like to play games/sports and have fun with the youth?     
• Do you like to pray?  Would you be willing to pray with the teens and help to provide them with opportunities to encounter Christ through scripture and prayer?                                                        Then maybe, just maybe, God is calling YOU to be a part of the St. Stephen's Adult Core Team.

You may be thinking, "I do not have enough training or I am not formed well enough in my own Catholic Faith."   

We know that God does not always call the qualified, but He will qualify the called!

Training opportunities are available to help small group leaders learn to lead a small group of teens.  
All small groups will have two adult leaders, so you would not be in it alone.
