  1. LFI Project- Mass attendance Group i

  2. What is the problem? • Many teenagers around our age do not got to regular religious services weekly. • This includes: • Mass • Reconciliation • Adoration

  3. Why is it a problem? • God is seen as distant from the mundane, yet challenging problems of teens. • Teens see God as a nonimportant part of their lives. • This is a problem! • Teenagers have a very busy life: • School • Sports • Social life • It is hard to fit God into this schedule. • God seems left out. • Why?

  4. Why a Problem? Cont. • God seems to be passive to an untrained teenager eye. • God in fact is involved in our lives if we let him in. • Mass gives an opportunity to: • Become closer to God • Discover ourselves • Ask for guidance and forgiveness • Receive communion • Participate in a community of believers • Mass attendance is a BIG deal.

  5. Who is best to solve the Problem? • Teenagers are best to solve the problem! • Why? • To be forced to go to church is not productive • It is almost better to not go that to do this • Teens must want, earnestly to go to Mass

  6. How to remedy the Problem • Talk about it… • Teens respect and believe the opinions of their piers the most. • We must realize that talking about God is important because he is such a powerful influence in our lives.

  7. Remedy Cont. • Parents should also talk with teens about mass. • Talking about the homily and readings helps to get more out of mass. • The more you get out of mass, the more you will want to go. • If mass is seen as important within the family, teens will be more likely to attend services
