Say hello to Rene Bonetti our new Assistant Coordinator of Youth Ministry. Rene joined us over the summer months volunteering in the youth ministry Programs. We invited him to join our youth ministry staff. Thank you, Rene, for saying yes to Jesus! You can reach Rene at our Faith Formation Office, 813-671-4434 or email him at Rene@stsstephencatholic.org.
The Middle School EDGE Youth Group Faith Formation Program at St. Stephen Catholic Church is very fortunate to have Edge as our youth group curriculum in addition to our middle school classes. Edge Youth Group program provides an exciting, non-classroom environment where the youth of our parish can establish and nourish their relationship with God. This youth group program is in addition to Catechesis Classes and is not a substitute for them. We take our Catholic teachings and talk about applying them to an everyday, school setting.
Why is Edge Middle School Youth Group important?
We all remember that middle school was awkward and difficult. That hasn’t changed. However, societal shifts have made the middle school years more difficult than ever.
Why is the Middle School Youth Group called "Edge"?
The program is called 'The EDGE' because the youth in this age range are on the 'edge' in terms of their mental, physical, and emotional development.
EDGE Adult Core Team Needed!
Is God calling you to work with our middle school youth? Please help us bring teens closer to Christ by being present as a core team member. Without adult volunteers, we cannot offer our various ministries and programs, so thank you for your willingness to join us!
