Programs for Secondary students 

Life Teen is a program that is for students in Grades 9-12. We delve deeper into the mysteries of the faith and look at important social issues through a Catholic worldview. As with all youth ministry the main goal of Life Teen is to lead teens closer to Christ. Life Teen programs are designed to engage everyone from those who know nothing about the faith to those who are actively living a Christ-centred life. We encourage all teens in Grades 9-12 to join Life Teen.
