"180" - St. Paul and his Letters
Saturday, May 31st - LifeTeen 

St. Paul is one of the greatest saints and evangelizers of all time. A great portion of our Scriptures were written by Him. But who was he? What was his conversion all about?

"The Feast" - The Book of Revelation

Saturday, June 7th - LifeTeen 


The Book of Revelation is one of the most intriguing books of the Bible. It is seldom understood and sometimes as a result it gives rise to either fear or indifference. In reality, the Book of Revelation is full with rich insights about God, His plan, and the Mass! Come discover the depths and wonder of this compelling piece of Scripture with us at LifeTeen!

"He's the Man!" - St. Joseph and Fatherhood
Saturday, June 14th - LifeTeen 


Other than Mother Mary, if there is one saint who carried an insurmountable amount of responsibility on his shoulders and succeeded at his task, it was St. Joseph! We hear little about him in Scripture, but we know that St. Joseph taught Jesus, raised him, and loved him like only a father could. Come and be inspired by this great saint, who also happens to be the patron saint of Canada!
