Welcome to our High School Life Teen program at St. Laurence!A Theology of the Body
This spring we will begin our series on Theology of the Body. St. John Paul II's Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body helps us rediscover the meaning of life and love. Throughout the semester we will see how the union of man and woman in marriage which is true, good and beautiful prefigures the union of Christ (the Bridegroom) and his Church (the Bride).
This six session Life Teen series is titled Life, Love and the Pursuit of Happiness and shows us that the divine plan for human love is an invitation to mutual self-giving. "(Humans) can fully discover (their) true selves only in a sincere giving of (themselves)." (Gaudium et Spes, 24)
Topics for the next few weeks are as follows:
January 26 Life: Creation / Confirmation #4
February 2 No Life Teen due to Super Bowl
February 9 Pursuit of Happiness: Marriage and Celibacy for the Kingdom of God
February 16 ARISE night in Church with Anna Carter from the Eden Invitation

Life Teen is our main outreach to all 9th-12th grade students and our mission is simple: to lead teens closer to Christ. Through teaching, discipleship, prayer, social events, and service, we hope to build up the kingdom of God one teen at a time. The goals of our Life Teen program are:
- To empower young people to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today,
- To draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission, and work of the Catholic Church,
- To foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.
We do this through a variety of different programs and forms of outreach, which can be found and explained by clicking here. For more information about our Life Teen program and how it works in conjunction with our Confirmation Preparation program with our High School Youth Minister. -
