CATHOLIC YOUTH MINISTRY | AUSTIN, TEXAS

Middle School (grades 6-8) is a formative and challenging time in the life of a young person. The EDGE program helps teens navigate these waters in an environment that combines traditional classroom catechesis and youth ministry principles in a dynamic and community-building package. Middle School tweens and teens are encouraged to engage in their community and grow in their relationship with Jesus by discovering their Catholic faith through prayer, learning, and fun!
We are blessed to use the St. Vincent de Paul PAC as our setting for learning. Classes will take place there unless otherwise advertised to parents. Small classroom groups are differentiated by grade level and gender for a learning experience with limited distractions.
