Lollipop, anyone?

Hey guys and girls! If you happened to have gotten a lollipop with a sticker from me, make sure to bring the wrapper (with the sticker!) to the next LifeTeen where we will have a draw for a pair of movie tickets and a number of other prizes!

Never been to LifeTeen before? That's ok!! Bring your friends and come have a blast! And by the way... on top of the draw this weekend, every time you come you get a "token". You can also earn tokens by bringing new people, answering trivia questions, winning games, etc. Collect these and you could win a $100 gift certificate to Square One at our last LifeTeen night of the year on July 21, 2012!

LifeTeen starts at 7:00pm and ends at 10:10pm this Saturday, May 5! See you there!

This Week at LifeTeen and Edge (May 4 & 5)

LifeTeen - Purity: Impossible and Archaic? Look again...

"In a world drowned in lust and superficiality, how can I ever find someone who can love me for who I really am? How am I supposed to live a pure life when I have so many urges and desires? What is chastity anyway? Isn't that archaic? It's too late for me anyway... Sure, I want to be pleasing in the eyes of the Lord, but it is just too hard! I just wanna be loved!"
If these or similar thoughts have echoed in your head... if you need answers to the tough questions about how to deal with temptation... if you feel lost and do not know how to return to purity after having wondered away...
Then join us for LifeTeen this Saturday night where we will poke fun at the lies the world tells us about beauty and success, and discuss the real meaning of purity and how to really and properly live out our femininity and masculinity.
Who: High school students
When: Saturday, May 5, 2012 
What time: 7:00om Youth Mass, LifeTeen from 8:15-10:10pm
Where: Merciful Redeemer Parish Basement
