Our meetings are in person. If we need to meet online a link will be sent out to both parent and teen for our session.
Sunday Life Nights 7:15pm – 8:30pm Meetings will be approximately twice per month* on Sunday evenings and cover a variety of topics emphasizing community-building, service projects, and review of Catholic teaching.
