EDGE
The EDGE program is an innovative and stimulating process of faith-sharing for our seventh and eighth graders who meet in a weekly format. Class sessions, retreats, outreach-service and social components are an all-round holistic experience. EDGE is designed to promote Catholic education and fellowship. Besides teaching Catholic catechism in an age-appropriate method, the EDGE program promotes positive morality and fellowship among other young Catholics in our parish and community.
