I am not really a big fan of praise and worship music in general. In fact, most Sundays you will find me attending a Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. But, I have volunteered with a Life Teen program in another parish for maybe 8 years now. I was pretty impressed with XLT. I don't know that I would really consider it to be too trendy. Some praise and worship music, a talk, and then adoration and Benediction. It is really traditional compared to what teens tend to see in most parishes these days. The biggest thing that I would have changed would be a little more time for silent adoration. But, I believe that is actually the plan. Things were sped up a bit this time as it was just a sneak peek. David,

We've had enough of that, I think. Jeffrey,

If so then I was there too. I don’t suppose the parish was named St. Joan of Arc was it? If so then I was there too.

As the mom of two teen boys, I am very excited to learn about this program. I have alerted my pastor and our parish youth ministers to it, and I have even volunteered to help out (which may turn out to be a big mistake, LOL). Thanks, Per Christum folks, for posting this info! And BTW--LifeTeen has apparently cleaned up its act, per the USCCB's orders. So, I think it should be just fine. I'm in a very conservative diocese, and some of our most traditional parishes have LifeTeen programs. Anyway...... I agree wih Jeffrey.

Things like this do a lot of good. There’s nothing wrong with being trendy, if it preaches the truth. Things like this do a lot of good.
