Our new Edge program, for Middle School Age Children, is off to a fantastic start! The program is not the usual classroom catechesis. It features games, music, videos, and other activities.

More help is needed! We need additional adults to assist on our Edge nights on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday from 6:15-8 pm. No preparation or teaching is required. You will coordinate the students, and help with group discussions .

To help, contact Theresa.Benson@stmarknc.org .
