As a parish, we use Lifeteen resources. Lifeteen International is a Eucharistic-driven Catholic movement that serves the Church by providing resources and faith experiences that help lead teens closer to Christ. At our parish, our Youth Minister and her Core Team of adult volunteers build an environment where teens feel loved, accepted, and compelled towards discipleship. Through the Sacraments and our community, teens learn more about our rich Catholic faith and grow to love the Sacraments, Sacred Scripture, and the Liturgy. Our goal is to walk with youth on their life-long journey with Christ.
Our Youth Ministry Program is open to all students in grades 6-12. Meetings are held Sunday afternoons following the 10:30 am Mass from 11:45 a.m.-2:00 pm in the Red Brick Building (Youth Building). While our two programs are combined (Edge: 6-8th grades & Lifeteen: 9-12th grades), we set aside time each week for our teens to meet separately with their peers. Throughout the school year, we also host and attend a variety of events from social gatherings to youth retreats! Many of our social events are combined, but our retreats are age/grade specific. We truly believe in being "one big family" and that our middle schoolers learn well from their older peers who have developed friendships and taken on mentorship roles with our younger members. See our weekly bulletin and social media pages for more information on weekly events!

Transfiguration is a friendly, growing Catholic parish just minutes outside of Columbia.
