About Us
SMGLT is baptized into the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We believe that our earth and all life is sacred, that all people are gifted with God’s grace and called to build God’s kingdom on earth. We believe that kingdom is a kingdom of justice and peace, faith and hope, love and acceptance. That kingdom belongs to the least among us.
We are a Eucharist centered youth group, open to all high school teens. Youths have an opportunity to clearly hear the word of God and reflect upon it with other teens, grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ, and develop a deepening Catholic Christian faith.
We are one family living in community confronted, challenged, and comforted by the word of God, reaching out to all teens and their families. We are contemporary Catholic Christians sharing the ministry which belongs to each of us in partnership with our Bishop. We are inspired by the simplicity of Saint Maria Goretti and all the Saints. We are responsible stewards of our talents and worldly goods. We celebrate our faith by worshipping together, experiencing Christ in Word and Eucharist and one another, in natural and simple surroundings. We grow in knowledge of our tradition and the meaning of our oneness in Christ.
We welcome with joy all those who come to us and invite them into the life of our SMGLT community. We bear witness to those who do not know Christ, by living our faith and spreading the good news. We reach out in a special way to those who hunger and thirst for human dignity: the poor, suffering and oppressed people in our community and in our world.
Life Teen meets from 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. Sundays in Sullivan Hall. For more information you may contact us at smglt@smglifeteen.net or through our website www.smglifeteen.net
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a community of faith.

To lay aside distractions and step back into God’s embrace.
