Edge and LifeTeen are a small group faith formation model for 7th-12th grade students. By switching to this small group model, catechists can better encounter, encourage, and cultivate relationships with students, ultimately leading them to a deeper relationship with Jesus. Each night consists of an activity, lesson, small group discussion, and time for prayer. The content for each class is taken from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The truths the students learn about are applied to their lives so that they may see and experience how Jesus works in their lives at every moment.
Takes place on Sunday evenings at St. Mary Parish Hall
