Goal for the Life Night:
The goal for this night is to help teens understand the Catholic view on heaven, hell, and purgatory, as well as how to live a life worthy of heaven.
Life Night at a Glance:
Many of the questions teens have about their faith involves the afterlife. This Life Night will seek to answer some of those questions as well as encourage and inspire them to live today in a manner worthy of heaven. The night is built around the idea of a guided tour of the afterlife. The tour starts in a graveyard to remind the teens of their mortality and help them begin thinking about eternal life. After the teaching, the tour guide will take the teens on a tour of hell, purgatory, and heaven, allowing the teens to ask questions about each. Finally, the night ends near the tabernacle, our foretaste of heaven, with a celebration of the possibility of eternal life united with God.
