Lifeline

LIFELINE

9-12TH GRADE

Let’s give high schoolers the opportunity to encounter Christ and experience a life of community in the Church. We are excited to offer Lifeline at St. John the Evangelist in West Chester, OH!

Lifeline allows young people to encounter Christ through prayer, Sacraments, and community. Offering the Eucharist during a Vigil Mass, inspiration through a dynamic speaker, and a chance for encounter through adoration with praise and worship guarantees a great night for young people in our community.
