At St. Matthew, we believe that "parents are the first and foremost educators of their children [who] educate or catechize informally, but powerfully by example and instruction" (National Catechetical Dictionary). For this reason our Family Faith Formation Program for Elementary students, is designed to be family-focused, using a thematic-activity approach, where groups of families will meet with a catechist to encounter the Lord together. Parents and their children fully participate in classes as a family.

EDGE provides a safe fun place for youth to find solid Catholic community, to get answers to their questions about faith, and, most importantly, to experience Jesus in a profound and personal way. EDGE resources speak to the physical, psychological, cognitive, relational, and spiritual maturation of middle school youth.

EDGE resources allow our Youth Ministers to plan out semesters of EDGE Nights and teachings based on Church approved resources and then presented as Catholic teaching in a way that young people can understand.

EDGE is a place for Middle School Teens to come together and engage in conversations about God, learn about life, and be a part of something bigger than themselves.  Saint Matthew EDGE is designed specifically to reach out to our Middle School Youth where they can be lead closer to Christ.

EDGE meets in-person on Sundays from 12:15pm-1:45pm

LIFE TEEN is a movement within the Roman Catholic Church which leads teenagers and their families into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.

The Program is implemented as “relational ministries.” The relationship between the student and Christ is nurtured and encouraged.  CORE Catechists strive to make a connection with teens through curriculum, faith sharing, listening, and engaging the teens in dynamic interactive sessions.

Students are encouraged to remain enrolled in LIFE TEEN throughout High School, even past Confirmation, as our faith formation never ends; rather, it is a lifelong journey.

The LifeTeen program will meet on Sundays from 12:15pm-1:45pm.
