Mission of Life Teen and Edge:

As a Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church, Life Teen leads teenag-

ers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the

Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, Life Teen seeks to unleash the fullness of the

Sacramental power present within the young Church.

Through powerful Eucharistic encounters and engaging catechesis, our Edge (middle school) and Life Teen

(high school) teens are immersed in a dynamically Catholic parish culture. With the parish as their true home,

our teens are then further strengthened by our Events, Resources, and Digital (web and social media) evangeli-

zation. Our goal is not only to “reach” today’s teens, but also to create an environment where Catholic teenagers

feel supported and engaged the other 167 hours a week, outside of Sunday mass.

Life Teen High School Youth Ministry meets

every other Sunday, starting with Mass at 12pm, and

then continues at 3pm in the parish hall.

All high school aged teens are welcome to join us.

Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; for your

unfaithful and tepid priests; for your priests laboring at home

or abroad in distant missions; for your tempted priests; for

your lonely and desolate priests; for the souls of your priests

who have died.

But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:

the priest who baptized me; those who absolved me from my

sins; those whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your

Body and Blood in Holy Communion; those who taught me; all those to whom I am indebted in any other way.

O Jesus, keep Fr.________ close to your heart, and bless him

abundantly in time and eternity. Amen

EVENINGS WITH MARY - Please join us for

an encounter with Mary on Friday, May 8, 7:00–8:30 pm, at St. Joseph (South San)
