Traveling the path of faith is not a simple walk in the park: it is an epic journey towards heaven, and it is alright that we do not have all the answers.
Even the apostles did not have all the answers but they were open and desired to learn. Epic is a program designed to help middle school young men and women to explore what it means to be a Catholic in an environment where everyone is treasured for who they are and with a desire for each person to reach their full potential.

We have a group of adults who want to help you make the world a better place by helping you let your light shine in the world. We want to help you be close to Jesus and abide in his presence. We hope that you will learn to listen to the voice of Jesus telling you that you are loved beyond all measure.
We want to help you imitate Jesus by helping you over the seven deadly sins.
Finally we want to help you be courageous not by helping you be free of fear but rather by helping you to trust in God's love and thus have confidence to move forward in spite of any fear you have in your life.
