Middle School Youth Ministry

Edge is a youth ministry program for seventh through eighth graders that provides a safe fun place for youth to find solid Catholic community, to get answers to their questions about faith, and, most importantly, to experience Jesus in a personal way. 


Edge is back! We meet Wednesday nights from 6:45- 8:00 PM in the Community Room.
