So I was just made aware that there is a chapter of this group where I'm going to college and I have been asked to help with it.

As anyone have any experience with this?

I looked at their website and they seem to be a good Catholic group.

Yeah, I helped found the Chapter at my old Church. It was good. I enjoyed it.

My mom told me that my 15 year old brother is going to meetings of this group twice a month and he really enjoys it. But she said they changed the name of our group to something else, like Saints Alive or something (I like Dead Theologians better.) Sounds like a solid group though. I haven't been, they don't let people older than 18 attend because they have so many younger people who want to go, but it sounds great.

Yes.

It is based off of the Dead Poet society. The group at my church deviated away from the original mission so I am not sure that I liked it quite as much as the original intentions of the group.

It is a great group where you learn about the saints. They also mediate on writings of Dead Theologians. I think that it is a great way for youth to learn about the Church and her writings/writers.

Go for it!

I was about to say "same here" but there is one...in a place I've never heard of.

We had one at our parish for about a year...It died out because there were only four or five of us who actually liked mostly nothing but praying and learning about saints.

I have only heard good things about DTS. I've considered using it or implementing parts of what they do at the parish i will be working at.

I am starting to look at this now, but I am confused by the curriculum - for $500 there doesn't seem to be one. I can have black hoodies made up for a lot cheaper, and downloading information about the saints is pretty easy from Google. Life Teen isn't meaty enough for my teens, and yes, the name of this group sounds amesome, but it seems that is all they have going for them. I called 5 parishes locally that are on their national roster, and none of them have the group any longer. Frustrating.
