Goal
The goal of this Life Night is to help the teens understand why Christ set up a hierarchical structure within the Church. The night will also show the teens the importance of the role of the laity within the mission of the Church.
About this Night
from the very beginning of the Church, Christ put a structure of authority into place. This structure continues today through the pope, bishops, priests, religious, and laity. This Life Night begins with a game that requires the teens to think about how different roles play different parts in every situation. The teaching breaks open the different roles within the Church and answers tough questions about the need for organized religion. The Break gives the teens a chance to take a deeper look into the role and importance of the laity’s role in the Church’s mission of spreading the Gospel. The night ends by praying for each of the specific roles within the Church.
