Life Teen is a comprehensive youth ministry program based on, focused on, and directed toward the Eucharist. Each week at a Life Teen Mass and Life Night, high school teens gather in an environment to experience fully the greatest gift we have as a Catholic Church. The liturgy of the Mass is central to our faith and therefore central to Life Teen. Life Teen Mass is celebrated in a way that shows the vitality, relevance, prayer and joy of the Church. We want all our youth to feel a sense of belonging through our fellowship and hospitality. In addition to this spirit of fellowship and hospitality, teens are encouraged to participate in all aspects of serving and participating at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass through dynamic worship, relevant homilies, and powerful praise music.

Each Sunday evening Msgr. Grill Hall gets transformed into a new environment. Whether it be a beach party, a lamp store, freaky science lab, or a theater for going back in time, you can be sure you’ll have fun. Join every Sunday evening after the 6:00 pm Life Teen Mass until 8:30 pm.

All teens and their families are welcome to join us for Life Teen Mass.

Sorry, our Life Nights are only for High School Teens.

No, Life Teen is open to all high school students. Just stop by Grill Hall after 6:00 pm Mass. We can’t wait to see you!

Of course! Part of Life Teen Mass is about teens participating in all aspects. We always welcome new volunteers. Email Jill at jmann@stjohneudes.org to find out how you can volunteer.

Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry for early adolescents in grades 6-8. It is designed to meet the catechetical, educational, spiritual, emotional and social needs of young adolescents. Edge approaches youth ministry to middle-school youth using the Life Teen model. Middle-school youth are removed from behind classroom desks and brought into a large-group environment for gathering activities, teachings and prayer. In small groups, they break open the teachings and build solid, Christ-centered relationships that allow them to comfortably explore their Catholic faith and make it relevant to their everyday lives. This helps build safe relationships during some of the most formative years of a teen’s life.

Edge at SJE meets twice a month on the First and Third Monday from 7:00 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. in Grill Hall. Each session we focus on a different scripture passage or sometimes we just gather to have fun. Come join us registration is ongoing throughout the year! Click here for a registration form.
