Dead Theologians Society

Looking for a Different Kind of Youth Ministry Opportunity? Join the Dead Theologians Society.

Mortuum Mundo, Vivum in Christo!

Dead to the World, Alive in Christ!

Teens (grades 8 - 12) and parents are invited to an informational meeting about the Dead Theologians Society at Nativity on Tuesday, January 9 following 6 pm Mass in the JPII Conference Room (adjacent to the Welcome Desk). Time 6:45 - 7:30 pm. Come learn about the program, experience some of the activities the teens will enjoy, and have an opportunity to ask questions. Adult volunteers are needed and are encouraged to join us. Please note any adult volunteer must be VIRTUS trained before serving. 

The Dead Theologians Society is a Catholic apostolate for teens grades 8 - 12 and will kick-off at Nativity on Tuesday, January 16 from 6 - 8:30 pm. 

Teens, join us for 6 pm Mass followed by a quick light dinner. All participants must arrive and check in by 6:45 pm. Our society meeting starts at 7 pm in the Chapel. At every meeting, we, the Church Militant, learn about and ask for the intercession of the great saints—the Church Triumphant—while praying for the souls in Purgatory—the Church Suffering. Society members meet on the third Tuesday of each month after Mass to learn about the lives of the saints, which continue to inspire us to be "dead to sin and alive in Christ" (Romans 6:11). After the meeting, we will have social time, snacks, and fun activities (games, video, karaoke, etc).
