YOU - Love, Life and the Theology of the Body - A Life-Changing Experience for Teens – PARENT PREVIEW PROGRAM!

Identity. Gender. Love. Chastity.  The world is a difficult place for teens, and it has become increasingly hard for parents and educators to help teens discover the truth about their bodies, their sexuality, and their unique call to love.

In an age of “selfies” and egocentrism, YOU cuts through the noise to present an authentic view of the human person. It presents young people with the extraordinary story of their creation as unrepeatable individuals. But the program doesn’t stop there. YOU: Life, Love, and the Theology of the Body introduces teens to the truth that life is not, in fact, all about them; it is about going out of themselves to be a sincere gift for others.

This program will be offered to high school teens during spring 2020. Due to the sensitive nature of the topics covered, parents interested in enrolling their children are invited to a review program.

Enrollment for this class is currently closed.
