We have long recognized the importance of ministry not only to Teens but also to their families, especially parents. The best thing we could do for any Teen is to help their parents also develop a stronger relationship with God and His Church.

   It is not impossible but perhaps improbable that Teens can be reached without reaching their parents. Despite conflicts that may arise between Teens and their parents, Teens still take their direction from their parents. Teens cannot be expected to do any more than the parents are willing to do.

   The Parents For LIFE TEEN ministry gives the adult community, especially parents, a broader understanding of the LIFE TEEN program and how it works. At the same time it develops parents spiritually and fosters good Catholic families.
