What is Teen Mercy? Who are we?
Teen Mercy is a youth ministry, a spirituality and way of life for teens to live the Catholic faith as young missionaries of divine mercy. Through an act of total consecration, teens give their heart and life to Jesus through the Immaculate Heart of Mary; thus becoming missionaries of God’s love and mercy. Teen Mercy offers a way of life for all teenagers to love the way Jesus loves by ministering to the poor and people in need through works of mercy.
Teen Mercy, a Catholic mission and ministry for all youth: We the Catholic Faithful, in union with our Holy Father, the Pope, are called through baptism to share in the mission, which Jesus Christ has entrusted to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Priests, deacons, religious and laity, under the leadership of our Bishop, cooperate to proclaim the Gospel in accordance with the teaching of the Church, to celebrate the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, for the salvation of all, and to exercise the ministry of charity so as to promote a culture of life and love.
What do we do?
Teens gather weekly as a community of faith by loving, caring and supporting one another. Teens gather at their parish and grow in their faith by coming together for Sunday Mass, teen prayer groups, and youth nights. Teens develop strong friendships as they join in fun activities, retreats, mission trips, and outreach projects of mercy. Teens travel within the community to carry out God’s love and mercy, by actively ministering to people inneed. Teens reach out through a wide range of different outreach projects, including ministering to the sick, the terminally ill, visiting the lonely, and by providing aid to the poor and those in need. Teens reach out with love and mercy to minister and evangelize to new teens, teens that are un-churched and feel unloved, unwanted, or forgotten, teens who are seeking God, and calling upon His mercy in hope of a better life. Teen Mercy is about the power of God’s saving love and mercy working in and through the hearts of His youth, to bring about conversion and salvation in their lives, the lives of the poor; and of the whole world.
