EDGE is a Catholic youth ministry designed specifically for youth in grades 6-8. It provides a safe and fun place for youth to find a solid Catholic community, to get answers to their questions about faith, and to experience Jesus in a profound and personal way.
Anyone in grades 6-8 is welcome to attend EDGE Nights. We welcome everyone from Archangel Gabriel Parish and Archangel Gabriel School, along with anyone from the surrounding community.
