Although we are a part of the Life Teen International family, we are b.a.s.i.c. "Brothers And Sisters In Christ".

The mission of b.a.s.i.c. is 1) to empower young people to grow as disciples of Jesus Christ in our world today; 2) to draw young people to responsible participation in the life, mission and work of the Catholic faith community; and 3) to foster the total personal and spiritual growth of each young person.

Led by a group of dedicated adult mentors (Core Team), this ministry strives to lead teens closer to Christ through solid catechesis, service projects, prayer and worship, leadership development, community building, advocacy for youth, sharing the Gospel message, and showing compassion as Jesus modeled.

All high school students are invited to attend b.a.s.i.c.! We gather on Sunday afternoons (September through May) from 5-7 p.m. in the Parish Hall. Friends are welcome!
