FORMATION: GRADES 6-8 (EDGE Program)

Our EDGE Middle School program partners with our Family Formation program.  Families will gather together once a month as a community. That evening, parents & kids will split up into age based groups to all learn & discuss the same monthly faith based topic.  EDGE kids will explore & discuss the topic together with other middle school students and their adult small group leaders.

The EDGE program is open to all 6-8th-grade parish youth. We focus on providing a community of faith-filled kids and adults who grow together, pray together, serve together, and laugh together.

**We will practice safe COVID practices during our meetings & a Wellness Check Survey will be completed by all who attend.**
