I already subscribe to a few different Catholic magazines. Is there one for teenagers??? My daughter is only 51/2 now, but before I know it she will be a “tween” and then a “teen”.
Here is my vision. A Catholic teen magazine similar to the secular ones except the Catholic one will have positive role models, articles about dating and chastity, question and answer columns with the answers from a Catholic perspective. The magazine could have some articles written by Catholic teenagers from around the country/world. It could feature positve secular music and Christian music. etc. Oh yeah, don’t forget about clothing and fashion. This magazine would have “How to dress fashionable, but modest.”
If something like this does not exist who can we contact to start a magazine like this? It sure is needed!! If you can’t beat secular society, why not join it , but with a Christian view point and influence.
 
There used to be a hard copy Catholic magazine for teens called “You”, but I haven’t seen it lately. A search on the web led me to a Catholic online site for teens which looks good and may help you:

My 12-year-old daughter has a subscription to BRIO magazine. It is published by Focus on the Family.

It is Christian, but not Catholic Christian. However, I have never found anything objectionable in it, and she enjoys it immensely. It has all the things the other teeny-bopper magazines have, minus the immorality.

Check it out at www.briomag.com

Hope this is helpful to you.

American Life League and their “rock for life” teen group have a newletter/magazine called Reality Check.
 
Hearts Aflame is a quartly magazine and its for Catholic Teens…I liked it alot
 
Thank you for your suggestion. Do you have an address or a website for Hearts Aflame?

I tried a search engine, but came up with other stuff other than a Catholic magazine.
 
Try Guideposts for Teens, again, it’s not Catholic Christian, but its pretty cool, they have DIYs and advice and fashion and music and all that stuff.

Do NOT get: Seventeen, YM, CosmoGirl, Teen, Teen People, etc.

Been there, done that, and they were all full of a bunch of **** like quizzes “Are you ready to have sex?” “How well do you know your contraception?” and stories “My lesbian girlfriend and I went to prom together” “My two moms” “How to get an abortion without telling your parents (under the “euphensim” “know your reproductive rights”)” “Maximize your making-out power” etc.
 
Its part of the blue army of our lady of fatima…I can’t find an interntet site…I only have an older copy…2002
 
I know this thread is a little stale but I was hoping that maybe someone had some information.

“You” seems to have become an e-zine.

“Heart Aflame” is not listed on the Blue Army website and other links to the magazine are dead.

I, too, am looking for a good Catholic magazine for teens. I want to give magazine subscriptions for Christmas this year. MagnifiKids covers most of the crew of my neices and nephews but we have one older neice that is too old for that mag.

Thanks.
 
A really good brand-new magazine for young people, filled with tons of vocation stories and only ads of religious communities is Oye! Magazine. It’s a biligual Hispanic Catholic magazine. I haven’t visited it yet, but try the website www.oyemagazine.org
 
I think that Envoy is excellent for older teens. Even my 14 year old brother enjoys it a lot!
 
Forgive me, but when I saw the subject line of this thread, the first thing that popped into my head was a cover full of big-eyed male teenaged saints, and the line, “Win a dream Date with Dominic Savio!!!”
 
Oye looks good, not for my neice (she’s not Hispanic) but for my own boys (who are). It is published by the same people who publish US Catholic which, I understand, promotes some pretty liberal views (contraception, women priests etc). Does anyone know if Oye is the same or is it ok?

The teen in question is just 13 so I don’t know if she is ready for Envoy.

Like Jvel said in the original post, my goal (probably doesn’t exist yet) is a Catholic alternative to Teen Magazine, Teen Cosmo etc.

Karl, if you are lurking, this sound like a great mission for the Pure Love Club. 👍
 
Yeah, US Catholic has some shockingly liberal views, but in Oye I couldn’t find anything liberal or questionable, except that there were no pictures or ads of nuns who wear habits 😦
