What is Edge

The EDGE is a Catholic middle school youth ministry experience created for early adolescents in grades six, seven and eight. The EDGE is designed to meet the educational, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of young adolescents. Kids are always welcomed and encouraged to invite their friends to the EDGE.

When We Meet

Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 will participate in the EDGE program starting in September and going until April. Topics will be presented to educate about the Christian Catholic faith and challenge the student to grow in a relationship with Christ. There will be large and small group activities.

EDGE Catechist & Leaders

Our EDGE  program, for our junior high teens, is looking for some fun, loving, compassionate, spiritual, and caring adults and high school teens to help us for  the coming year. We need help in these areas:

High School Teens
Serve as a Peer Mentor and assist adult leaders in a small group.

Adults
Help serve as a catechist or volunteer for the program. Whether you are a parent, grandparent or parishioner–you are welcome to help!

We need so many to help, and if many do, there will not be a huge time commitment.  If you have questions or would like to get  involved, please contact Dave Miserendino at DaveM@olmercy.com  or (331)707-5371. You can sign-up here:

EDGE Middle School Ministry Volunteers

Adults and High School Teens are invited to help with the EDGE ministry with students in Grades 6-8. You can serve as a catechists, assistant in the program or help with retreat, social or service events.

  • Thank you! We'll contact you soon!

  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

Please  prayerfully think about this…our teens need YOU.
