St. Matthew > Faith Formation > Youth Ministry > Edge: Middle School Youth Ministry

What is Edge?

Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry program 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 profound and personal way. This program is a space for middle school youth to freely engage with their faith without the expectations or requirements. The only thing we ask is that they come as they are – questions, attitude, and everything in between – and treat one another with Christian charity.

Time: 6:30pm to 8:15pm 

Location: Parish Center
