High School Formation

Life Teen is a spiritual, educational, and social experience to help teens in grades 9-12 to grow closer to Christ. Our Sunday night program begins with Mass at 5:00 pm and continues with Life Nights which start at 6:15 in the Multi-Purpose Room. Each semester our Life Night focuses on a topic and gathers for discussion, games and prayer. Each Sunday night Life Night closes with dinner and students are ready to be picked up at 7:45 pm.

Once a year during spring break or fall break, together, Edge and Life Teen participate in a day long Urban Plunge experiencing the 7 Corporal Works of Mercy. Students take the bus from Hermitage to Downtown Nashville to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, shelter the homeless, clothe the naked, visit the sick, visit the imprisoned and bury the dead. Our Urban Plunge takes us to a prison for youth, a clothing closet, and experiences with homelessness through Nashville's Room in the Inn. We visit Calvary Cemetery to learn about this historic Catholic site in Nashville and to pray for the dead. We end our day at McKendree Health Care Center to visit the men and women who live in the memory care unit.
