What is EDGE?
Combining formation with catechesis, we hope to create a state-of-the-art youth program that reaches our youth on a personal and spiritual level. It has been shown that foundational life decisions are set not in high school, but more and more in middle school.
We know what it takes to communicate to this generation of teens. We feel it is imperative that they experience a vibrant, Catholic culture with like-minded youth before they enter high school. When our middle school students make the transition to high school, our goal is that they will have the courage needed to stand up for what is right and have the tools they need to fight for their beliefs.
We meet in the Social Hall, (usually) every other Wednesday. The Edge Nights run from 6:15 pm – 8:15 pm, and we average about two meetings a month.
Meet Your Middle School Youth Minister
My name is Megan Engelen and I am the Middle School Youth Minister here at All Saints. I am originally from a small town in Missouri where I graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in 2022 with a degree in Agribusiness: Horticulture. Following graduation, I served two years as a full time missionary with Life Teen at Camp Hidden Lake, where I primarily ministered to middle school teens. During this experience, I found a love for Christ and His Church and serving this specific age group. I am very excited to continue to share this passion with the All Saints community. When I’m not hanging out at All Saints, you can find me spending time with friends, going on adventures, playing sports, or attempting to cook new recipes.

What is the Life Teen Band?
All middle school and high school students are invited to become a part of our Life Teen Band. The Life Teen Band aids in worship every week at our 5:00 pm Sunday mass. There is no audition to join. There are also no weekday rehearsals due to the students’ very busy school schedules. The band rehearses at 4:15 pm on Sunday and then ministers at the 5:00 pm mass immediately following.
