Illumin8 Youth Group - Life Teen New Plymouth

Faith, friendship and fun for parish youth

Our Youth Group is recognised as a Life Teen Parish, meaning we integrate Life Teen resources into our weekly activities. Life Teen's mission is to foster a Eucharist-centered movement within the Roman Catholic Church, helping teenagers and their families develop a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church. With the Blessed Virgin Mary as our intercessor and guide, Life Teen seeks to unleash the full sacramental power within the young Church.

Youth Group meets every Sunday evening from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM at St. Joseph's Church Hall during the school term. This gathering welcomes teenagers aged 13 to 18 from the Colleges and the Parish.

We begin with Mass at 5:30 PM at the Church, followed by dinner in the hall, games, and a Life Night where we delve into various series each term. Once a month, we host a Social Night with activities such as bowling, karaoke, movie nights, game nights, or other enjoyable events.
