Middle School Youth Ministry


Welcome to the Middle School Youth Ministry program here at St. Mary’s! This ministry encompasses our EDGE nights from Life Teen (the Religious Education program for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students), retreats and overnights, summer camp, and more opportunities for middle school students. 

Studies show students are much more successful when they have positive role models in their lives--and faith is one of the areas where the impact is most noted! Are there ways you can work on nurturing your own faith life so you can be an example for a young person? Tell us how we can help!


**Please continue to pray for our wonderful families, dedicated volunteers, and most importantly, our amazing young disciples we are blessed to serve. May they come to each opportunity with open minds and the Lord fill their souls with joy & purpose.**

Upcoming Events and Opportunities!
