About
The Catholic Academy for Life Leadership is a three year High School program that meets four times a year to provide robust and in-depth formation in life and love topics: Theology of the Body, authentic relationships, marriage, sexuality, pro-life defense and bio-ethics as well as offering leadership and mentoring opportunities. It also gives teens a chance to see the positive relationship our Catholic faith has with science, helping them think through the beauty of science as it relates to human reproduction and development.

"We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus."
