Teens for Christ

Are you searching for God without knowing exactly where to look? Well,Teens for Christ is for YOU!

Teens for Christ is our youth group for high school students. We meet twice a month at the Life House, a house the parish purchased specifically for use by the Teens for Christ ministry. We want our teens to have a safe place to go, where they can relax, have fun and learn more about their Faith.

As this is a parish with a very strong Peace & Social Justice Ministry, we offer a variety of service projects for our teens. Some of the activities planned for this year include:

  • Twice a month get-togethers at the Life House
  • Block Party at the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels on the West Side of Chicago
  • Christmas Party at the Mission of Our Lady of the Angels
  • Blanket and Sandwich Project on Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago
  • Mission trip ... possibly to Joplin, Missouri
