LIFE TEEN @ SJN
LIFE TEEN fits very well into the fabric of St. John Neumann Church, a parish centered on prayer and Eucharist because the Life Teen youth ministry model is centered on the Eucharist. On Sundays from September through May, we celebrate a 5 p.m. Life Teen Mass. People of all ages participate in the lively, engaging liturgies with excellent contemporary Christian music.
Our History
The first Life Teen Mass was celebrated at St. John Neumann Church on November 1, 1992. Fr. Dave Woost, with the support of Pastor, Fr. Bob Kraig, worked for many months preparing and training a Core Team and recruiting musicians for the Life Teen Band. Today’s youth have Fr. Dave and the early Core Teams to thank for building a strong foundation for Youth Ministry in our parish.
