LIFE TEEN is an international Catholic movement that began at St. Timothy's Catholic Church in Mesa, AZ. It has grown into the most prolific youth ministry in the Catholic Church, with programs stretching across the globe into twenty countries. LIFE TEEN is centered around the Eucharist, and leads teens closer to Christ by providing resources and training that encourages a deep love for Jesus Christ and His Church. St. Elizabeth's University Parish implemented this program in 1999, and in 2004, St. Elizabeth's implemented LIFE TEEN's Junior High Program called The EDGE. We have been amazed at how the Lord has touched the lives of so many teens in this ministry.. All glory and honor be His!
