What is Edge?
Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry for early adolescents in grades six, seven and eight. Edge is designed to meet the educational, spiritual, emotional and social needs of young adolescents. We meet on Monday nights 6:30-8PM in the church basement.
What’s involved with Edge?
There are three components to the Edge:
- Edge Nights (which are grade specific)
- Social Activities
- Service Projects
The social and recreational activities are designed to create a greater sense of community among our middle school youth and for the kids to have fun and enjoy themselves in a church setting. While our Service Projects allow them the opportunity to put their faith in action.
In 2011, Edge & Faith Formation merged together creating one ministry for the youth in grades 6-8. Edge Nights and Faith Formation sessions are now combined into one night, Monday’s from 6:30-8pm.
Enrolling in Faith Formation enrolls you into the Edge Ministry. If your child is in grades 6-8, please click on the link Enrollment & Permission Form to download an enrollment form. You may submit it via mail or by dropping it off at the Parish Office.
