Over 800 hundred Catholic teens in a gymnasium, a Mass where everyone loves to sing, and snacks? Sounds like Lifeline, our monthly program that turns the NET Center into a hot spot for Catholic young people in the Archdiocese of St. Paul/Minneapolis and beyond.
Now in it's fifteenth year, each Lifeline evening includes Mass followed by locally and nationally known speakers, musicians, priests, and entertainers who dynamically proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Youth and their parish leaders come to Lifeline events to celebrate their faith so they can be encouraged and equipped to share it within their parishes and schools.
One high school youth commented, "Lifeline is such an inspiration to me, that after attending my first Lifeline I was left speechless and anxious for what the next month could hold. Seeing so many youth who truly care about their relationship with God was so comforting. Lifeline gave me something to hold on to when the majority of today's population views teenagers as gangsters and troublemakers."
Lifeline Events are held on the first Saturday of the month from October to May at the NET Center in West Saint Paul. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the evening ends at 9:30 p.m.
