Teens focus on faith

A few weeks ago The Courier Sun wrote about the Teen Mass at St. Helen R.C. Church in Howard Beach. The Teen Mass, which is held every other Sunday at 5 p.m., is geared toward youth. They are very much involved, from taking the collections to doing readings and greetings to performing all the musical selections. St. Helen R.C. Church is located at 157-10 83rd Street in Howard Beach. Masses are celebrated at 5 p.m. Saturdays; 8, 9:30 and 11 a.m., as well as 12:30 p.m. and 5 on Sundays; and weekdays at 7 and 9 a.m. To find out more, call the rectory at 718-738-1616 or visit www.sthelen.org.
