CURRENT SERIES
Keep It Together and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves: The lives of teens are messy and complicated. More than any other generation, teens are dealing with pressures and stresses that they were never meant to deal with. In these uncertain times, teens are learning (or not learning) how to navigate complicated, over-dramatic relationships and are dealing with the socially acceptable temptations of vaping and cheating in school. We are not meant to shy away from these tricky and uncomfortable topics. Instead, we are called to meet them head-on with the compassion of Jesus Christ and the tools He provides. Keep It Together and Other Lies We Tell Ourselves is a Life Night series that dives into cultural issues specific to Gen Z teens so they may make more informed moral decisions based on the four cardinal virtues.

And now, some words for the Parental Units:
Life Teen is a Catholic high school youth ministry program. It provides a safe fun place for youth to find solid Catholic community, to get answers to their questions about faith, and, most importantly, to experience Jesus in a profound and personal way. Life Teen resources speak to the physical, psychological, cognitive, relational, and spiritual maturation of high school youth. Life Teen resources make it easier for youth ministers to plan out their semesters of Life Night, retreats, and to train a team of adults, the Core Team, to assist them in the ministry. The resources present Catholic teaching in a way that young people can understand.
We all remember that high school was awkward and difficult. That hasn’t changed. However, societal shifts have made the high school years more difficult than ever. Today, high school youth are having experiences that were common only with high school students just 15 years ago. Threats of violence, availability of drugs and alcohol, and pervasiveness of sex and pornography are the new norm. Not only are they faced with these tough realities but they are also in the process of moving from being family-centered to friend-centered.
Peers gain greater influence and parental authority is called into question. As they shift socially they are also experiencing tremendous changes emotionally and intellectually. As they wade through all the difficulties of this time of life, they have real questions and need real answers. If parish leaders ignore the unique challenges of their high school youth, they risk losing them forever.

Our program is also seeking volunteers.
The youth ministry at SJV is always looking for adults dedicated to helping our students grow in faith and in community. Without our adult volunteers, youth ministry could not exist, much less thrive. Some of our volunteers contribute weekly by leading small groups, others by chaperoning youth nights, providing meals for teen dinners and more! - With the variety of gifts and experiences our volunteers bring to the table, the possibilities are endless! If you are interested in investing some of your time or talent in our youth ministry, please contact our youth minister, Nicole Olea.
