Our Core Team
Rikki Martin Edge Cooridator
I teach 6TH, 7TH AND 8TH religion at St Edmonds Catholic School all week. Then coordinate Edge at St Joseph Catholic School. I feel this is the age students are starting to be impacted and molded. The way we touch students is by loving them. My plan is to them till it hurts.
Cathy Chatelain, Hi my name is Cathy Chatelain mother of 3, Erin, Anthony, and Katherine. Faith is so important to the youth of today. Gettting down to their level and keeping them involved is so important today. These kids today have so many issues that they face daily, drugs, sex, smoking, divorce and peer pressure. Keeping the faith is my goal and feel like if I touch one child I have made a difference. I love these kids they make my life a joy. I have been working with Edge for many years, and love working with our childern. Being able to see and helpour kids with the sharing of our faith. Hoping to see the light of GOD reach out to these childern. Faith is a word we all need more in our life.

Angela Thibodeaux, as a mother of 3, I understand the joys, trials, and transitions of growing up and growing into the person God made you to be. I joined EDGE to help middle school kids make the transition to young adults with Jesus at their side. I taught cathecism for sometime before i had my family and love being part of Edge to share my experience of Gods love and help middle schoolers make the transition to young adults with Jesus at their side. The best part of EDGE is seeing all the different gifts that kid has to offer. I most enjoy being outdoors, running, reading, and most of all enjoying my 3 kids.
