Founded by the five Roman Catholic Parishes of West Haven, the Association of Catholic Teens (ACT) is currently supported by St. Paul, St. Louis, and Saint Lawrence Parishes. The organization seeks to bring high-school teens into a closer relationship with Christ and with each other in the Catholic Christian community.

ACT strives to reflect the desire of Christ, that His love and life be enfleshed in our lives.  Because “the love of Christ impels us”  2Cor. 5:14, the aim of ACT is the building up of today’s Catholic Church one teen at a time. 

ACT reaches out to the high school teens of the West Haven area and their families through weekly Parish Youth Masses, Sunday night gatherings (recreational and spiritual), retreat opportunities, fostering ministry within their parishes, mission experiences  and outreach programs, Christian leadership training and service to those in need.
