(Grades 6-8)Congratulations! Please welcome our new
Coordinator of Youth & Young Ministry, Bryan Guananga.
Bryan will be joining us July 8th! We are beyond excited that he will be part of our St. Stephen Parish Community. We look forward to the many ways Bryan will bless our Faith Formation Families and Parish Community.
A short message from Bryan:
“I’m Bryan Guananga, I was born in Ecuador, but grew up in New York, and now moving to Riverview. I am looking forward to helping the youth of Saint Stephen grow in their faith and relationship with Jesus. I am very excited to serve this wonderful community.
See you all soon :).”
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!
