2026 Mission Trips
Our high school mission trips are more than just a week of service—they’re life-changing experiences that open hearts and deepen faith. Teens step outside their comfort zones, work hard, build homes, and build hope. They form real friendships, discover purpose, and encounter Christ in powerful new ways. For many, it’s the highlight of the entire year—a moment when faith becomes action, and lives (theirs included) are transformed forever.

Mass & Life Night info
Life Teen Mass is on Sunday nights at 6:00pm. The Mass is filled with amazing music, friends and fun as we come together to worship our Lord. The Mass is tailored for teens, but we have found that people of all ages really enjoy it, so bring your whole family! The homilies are relevant and the music is chosen specifically to lead you deeper into the Mass and closer to Christ.
Following Mass, teens participate in a Life Night. This is a time for high schoolers to hang out together in community to discuss the topics that apply to their lives. We start around 7:15pm with dinner and then we delve deeper into our Catholic faith and its everyday applications. Life Nights end at 9:00pm.Life Teen is an international Catholic organization dedicated to leading teens closer to Christ through sacraments, prayer and community.

Bible study
Join us on Wednesdays in the Teen Center as we open scripture. We will read the upcoming Sunday readings and discuss them together as a community rooted in Christ. Bible study is 7:00-8:00pm followed by another hour from 8:00-9:00pm of just hanging out together.

Retreats are a way for teens to encounter Christ outside of their normal environment.
We offer two main retreats open to all high schoolers: Fall and Spring.
