CATHOLIC SCHOOL

All Catholic school teens must register!
If your son/daughter is attending an accredited Catholic school they do not have to attend Life Teen Genesis on Sunday evenings. However, they still must attend:  
Kickoff Retreat on November 6, 2021 from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
in order to receive credit for the first year of Confirmation preparation.
Your teen attending Catholic school is welcome to attend Life Teen Genesis on Sunday evenings. This can be fruitful for helping them to integrate into our parish community who they will be journeying with in the second year. In that event, please pay the $80 registration fee which will cover the cost of materials, books, and Sunday dinners throughout the year. 
If your Catholic school teen will not attend on Sunday Nights, please select Option 2, and a $40 fee will be required for the cost of your books which will be used for year 1 and year 2.

What is Life Teen?
Life Teen is an international organization dedicated to strengthening our teens’ Catholic identity while rooting them firmly in Christ and his Church.

At St. Martha, Life Teen meets on Sunday evenings during the school year, and is where the catechetical formation (CCE) for high school students takes place.

When is Life Teen? Sunday evenings during the school year, from 6:45pm – 8:15pm.
Dinner is served before each Life Night around 6:15pm.

Where is Life Teen? The Family Life Center (FLC), which is located on our Faith Formation Campus at 3702 Woodland Hills Drive, Kingwood, TX 77339.

What happens at Life Teen?
At our Sunday gatherings (called Life Nights), teens have the option of eating dinner when they arrive. The rest of the night is meant to follow the structure of the Mass in a way that will allow the teens to encounter Christ and learn about their faith, and then live it out. There are four parts to a Life Night:
 

• GATHER: Teens are welcomed to the Life Night, we open in prayer, and the night’s theme is introduced in some way, whether by a game, video, activity, etc.

• PROCLAIM: The message of the night is shared with the teens. Either a speaker or a video will give a teaching on a particular aspect of our Catholic faith.

• BREAK: The teens have the opportunity to “break open” the message of the night, digging deeper and applying it to their own lives. This usually occurs in small groups of 10-12 teens, which are led by catechists.

• SEND: This part of the night focuses on giving the teens concrete ways to apply the message and teaching of the night to their everyday lives. A Life Night always concludes with prayer.
