Faith For Life Groups

Faith For Life!

In a nutshell, the Faith For Life program consists of peer groups of teens meeting in the homes of an adult Catholic couple to talk about faith and how it relates to this world we live in.

The atmosphere is open and one of honesty, trust, and support.

The program is flexible, but there is definite structure to the program as well. We meet in the homes most Sunday evenings. The First Sunday of each month is designated as FFL Sunday where we will have Mass followed with an evening of social activities for all groups.

It is open to all high school teens in our parish regardless of whether they attend a Catholic or Public High School.

Each F.F.L. team is a small ministry community. A group of 12 young people who are in the same grade in High School can come together each week with a married couple to learn and experience what it is to be a Catholic Christian Community. We use the "Total Faith Initiative" series with the Catholic Youth Bible and the Catholic Faith Handbook.

FFL Sunday: The First Sunday of each month we gather as a large group (all grades together) for special programs, speakers, Q and A sessions with a priest, or for an evening of socializing.

Do you have the opportunity to sit in an informal environment, on a regular basis

and discuss with peers, issues concerning your life and faith?

Are you broadening your faith experiences by participating in parish activities and missions?

Do you feel a part of the St. Stephen's Parish Community?

If you have answered "no" to any of these questions, we encourage you to take a look at the F.F.L. Call the Coordinator of Youth Ministry and arrange a 'try-out' time, once you go we know you'll stay! Be a part of the team!
