The Upper Room Name - The "Upper Room" is the name of the actual place where Jesus and the Apostles gathered for the Last Supper (Mark 14: 15-16) and where the Apostles went, after Jesus' Ascension into heaven, to wait, as instructe, for the receiving of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost (Acts of the Apostles 1: 13-14). At the present time, one of the rooms in our Parish Life Center is named "Upper Room." This is a place in which we learn, we grow, we build community. Teens are invited to stop by the Upper Room, not only on Sundays, but even most days after school.
LIFE NIGHTS in the Upper Room
Sunday Nights 6:30-8:00pm
Life Nights are open to all High School Teens grades 9-12. They are for those teens who are serious about their Catholic faith, for those looking for answers, for those wanting to grow in their spirituality, for those who want to learn and experience more about their faith, or even for those teens just looking for a place to hang out.
ALL teens are invited... you can even bring your friends. Each Life Night will be different. Some nights will be learning about our faith. Some nights will be discussing the important issues affecting students today. Some nights will be devoted to prayer and others devoted to having fun.
This is similar to what the disciples experienced in the early formation of our Church, hence the name, 'The Upper Room' (Acts 1:13-14; 2:1-13). We use the GATHER, PROCLAIM, BREAK, SEND format each week along with many other Life Teen Parishes. If you want to draw deeper into a relationship with Christ, come to the Upper Room!
