We strive to provide the opportunity for young people to meet, know, love and serve Christ through our simple discipleship process. This process includes a bunch of fun and engaging Eucharistic-centered relational ministries that meet a young person’s thirst for an encounter with the Person of Jesus Christ and help foster a living relationship with God.
Life Teen is not an exclusive club and it's not just for Catholic Teens. Life Teen presents a variety of topics that challenge teens and provide them the support they need. All high school students are welcome to join us! |

Ignite! is held after the 6:00 p.m. Mass on most Sundays in the Life Teen Cafe at St. Charles. Ignite! is open to ALL High School Students of any denomination who are interested in learning more about the teachings of the Catholic Church. Every night is different. Every night is fun. But most importantly every night gives you the opportunity to be in an open, honest atmosphere where people will discuss the truth on REAL issues teens are wondering about today. Come, check it out and see what everyone’s talking about. |

MORE THAN FLESH & BONES (February 11 - March 11, 2018
More Than Flesh & Bones explores the dignity of the human person while delving into what it means to be a body-soul composite being. It also offers practical insight in how to take care of the whole person - body, mind, and soul; not to prove we are valuable, but to respect the value we are inherently given.

Emmaus
|
Emmaus are Lectionary-based discipleship small groups that are designed to help teenagers gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for Sacred Scripture and the Holy Mass. Small Groups consist of 8 to 10 teens and 2 core team members who meet weekly in homes or public places throughout the Lake Country area to pray, discuss scripture, and walk with one another in our faith journey. Small groups are great for anyone desiring community and wishing to grow in their love for Jesus Christ and His Church. Emmaus is open to all high school teens.
Sign-Up for Specific Small Groups Open in September after Kick-Off! |
Peer Leadership
|
Peer Leadership is a ministry that allows teen disciples to lead their peers and others to Meet Christ, Know Christ, Love Christ, and Serve Christ. Teens can get involved in a number of different ministries in different capacities that fit their leadership style.
EDGE Core Team Teens help plan and run EDGE nights for our middle school students while also serving as small group leaders. Responsibilities include attending EDGE nights and a monthly planning meeting. Teens are able to join us and help lead retreat experiences for middle school students. CONNECT Core Team Teens take a leadership role in planning, promoting, and running Life Teen Connect for their high school peers. IGNITE Core Team Teens help our adult core team plan, promote, and run IGNITE for their high school peers. Teens also get to help small group leaders during small group discussions. Responsibilities include attending IGNITE and a monthly planning meeting. Teens also can attend retreats as peer leaders. Praise Group Teens wishing to share their musical talents are encouraged to do so as part of our high school praise group. This group leads us in praise and worship for EDGE, IGNITE!, retreats, and varies other Life Teen Events. Liturgical Ministries Teens can help the parish worship better by signing up for a liturgical ministry. Teens involved in these ministries must attend training days and be on the regular liturgical schedule. This includes finding subs when necessary. Liturgical Ministries Include: Lector, Server, Eucharistic Minister, and Greeter/Usher. St. Vincent de Paul More Information Coming Soon Members of Student IMPACT should be living their life as a disciple by continuing to be involved in a Life Group and Loving Christ through service events. Confirmed Seniors involved in either the EDGE or IGNITE Core Team and/or the High School Praise Group also have the ability to assist as peer leaders on our confirmation retreats. |
