An important goal of the L.I.G.H.T. program is to empower our high school teens to live as disciples of Jesus Christ in today’s world. To help them on their spiritual journey, the L.I.G.H.T. program enables teens to be disciples through involvement in service and discipleship.
Discipleship Projects:
Living Stations of the Cross performance on Good Friday. A rehearsal is required and there will be silent acting and reader parts for teens.
Teen and Parent Speaker Night held in January: Attend to hear a great Catholic speaker on a relevant topic of faith. Parent and teen attend this together.
Service Projects:
