We are incredibly grateful for the support we receive in running the Life Teen program. While there are no registration or attendance fees for our teens, we want to emphasize that it is not without cost. Our youth ministry department incurs various expenses, including personnel, supplies, training, and food. We are fortunate that the majority of our budget is covered by generous parishioners who tithe to the parish. Their contributions enable us to provide the best possible experience for our teens, and we are truly thankful for their support.

Moreover, we are deeply appreciative of the parents, parishioners, and community members who recognize the significance of our ministry for the teens and choose to partner with us beyond the minimum expectations. These individuals go above and beyond their regular tithe and make direct donations to the youth ministry. Their generosity allows us to exceed basic program costs and enhance the impact we have on the lives of young people. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who contribute and help us create a vibrant and meaningful experience for our teens.
