Life Teen Mission
Statement
Life Teen is an
international Catholic
movement that serves the
Church by providing
resources and faith
experiences that help lead
teens closer to Christ. This
is accomplished through a
vibrant Eucharistic
spirituality and by creating
opportunities for teens to
grow in their faith.
Life Teen Spirituality
Because of our deep Eucharistic devotion, Life Teen has developed a spirituality that is:
- 100% Catholic
- Obedient to the Magisterium
- Centered on the Eucharist
- Scriptural
- Liturgical
- Catechetical
- Sacramental
- Focused on social justice
- Comprehensive
Our spirituality guides us in everything we do, both personally and professionally. As a staff, Life Teen models seven Core Values, prompted by the Holy Spirit, that illustrate our spirituality, ministry model and movement:
- Eucharistic spirituality
- Love
- Joy
- Affirmation
- Authenticity
- Evangelization
- Primary vocation

Life Teen is a Movement of the Holy Spirit
At the core of Life Teen, you find a spirituality to lead teens closer to Christ that is driven by the Holy Spirit. It is through Christ, with Christ and in Christ that we do all things and give all glory to God. As a movement in the Church, we are guided by the teachings of Christ, His holy Word and His precious Body and Blood. Our entire ministry is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary so that we may be led to the feet of her son with the obedience she exemplified.
On May 26, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI addressed representatives of ecclesial movements with this salutation:
The movements you belong to are many. You are nourished by different schools of spirituality recognized by the Church. Draw upon the wisdom of the saints, have recourse to the heritage they have left us. Form your minds and your hearts on the works of the great masters and witnesses of the faith, knowing that the schools of spirituality must not be a treasure locked up in monastic libraries. The Gospel wisdom, contained in the writings of the great saints and attested to in their lives, must be brought in a mature way, not childishly or aggressively, to the world of culture and work, to the world of the media and politics, to the world of family and social life.
