About Us
CrossWalk Middle School Ministry (MSM) is a dynamic, service-based youth ministry program designed for all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade youth. We seek to inspire middle schoolers to know Jesus and empower them to live as engaged, joyful disciples. We meet once a month to discuss how we can reach out to those in need and together perform the corporal and spiritual works of mercy by participating in service projects.
Come Walk with Us!
WHEN – one Sunday per month (see the Schedule for exact dates and times).
- Please try to be on time ! We sometimes have projects that are very time-consuming and we don’t like to run over, especially for people who want to attend the 5:30 Mass.
WHERE – Holy Family Eden Center
- Family Faith Formation meetings start in the Hall next to the Church at 9:15 am
- Other meetings will be held in the Eden Center on the opposite side of Fremont Ave from the Church and Pastoral Center. The exact location is 1520 Fremont Ave. Just give us a call if you’re having trouble finding it (626-403-6148)!
HOW – CrossWalk provides almost everything needed for each service project!
- You just need to bring your creativity and enthusiasm. We will collect Halloween Candy for the troops and our Box of Joy project, as well as hygiene items for the people who come and use the Shower of Hope. (You will learn more about that very shortly!) One other exception would be if we do a drive of some kind collecting “gently used” items.
