A through knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. - Theodore Roosevelt A Catholic Centered youth ministry aimed at middle school adolescents; designed to meet their education, spiritual, emotional and social needs; part of the Church's mission to evangelize and spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ.
Many opportunities exist for the middle school teen to grow
closer to her/his church, community and most importantly, Christ. Class for The Edge
The Edge Program is a
God-centered middle school program designed to keep teens interested in the
Catholic faith during a time of change in their lives. Edge class is from
10:30-12:30 twice a month. Activities are days where the teens can come and
play games, watch movies and get to know each other. These days also run from
10:30-12:30. CORE nights are whole church community nights where the whole
family can come and learn about their faith on a level each will understand.
Trustworthiness A little boy walked down the beach, and as he did, he spied a matronly woman
sitting under a beach umbrella on the sand. He walked up to her and asked,
"Are you a Christian? She replied, "Yes." "Do you read your Bible
every day? She nodded her dead, "Yes." "Do you pray often? the boy asked
next, and again she answered, "Yes." With that he asked his final
question. "Will you hold my quarter while I go swimming?" © Copyright 2002 - 2007 Saint Jerome Catholic Church, Newport News, VA
