Come join other youth and deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ!
Welcome to St. Theresa Parish’s Youth Ministry! Teens are welcome to join the LIFT youth group, and youth ages 18-21 are welcome to join the UPLIFTED youth group. St. Theresa Youth Ministry is blessed to have a newly renovated Youth Ministry Room hangout space in the Lower Dolan building with access to a commercial-grade kitchen. We are most especially blessed to have an amazing group of teens who are active in weekly get-togethers and other events, such as the annual KAIROS Retreat in Illinois and the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC) at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana!

LIFT: St. Theresa’s High School Youth Group
UPLIFTED: St. Theresa’s College-Age Youth Group
LIFT is St. Theresa’s Youth Ministry group for high-school age students!
LIFT is an acronym for Living In Faith Together. Through LIFT, St. Theresa Parish offers the opportunity for the youth of our parish to find a safe and joyful place to encounter Jesus Christ and to share Him with others through the sacraments, fellowship, prayer, and service. Formed under the patronage of the Little Flower, the teens of LIFT are encouraged to advance in their own spiritual life through the “little way” and to make their unique talents and personalities influential in the larger context of their day-to-day lives.
UPLIFTED is is St. Theresa’s Youth Ministry group for college-age students!
If you are an alumni of LIFT and have participated in past Youth Ministry events, or if you are new to St. Theresa’s Youth Ministry, all youth ages 18-21 are welcome to join UPLIFTED!

What is a Home Group?
A Home Group is a small, faith sharing, peer group that is teen led and adult guided. Home Groups meet once a month. Topics discussed are important to high schoolers, as well as relevant to our Catholic faith. Friendship, Fun and Food are the only requirements.
