Faith Formation for our middle school youth (grades 6-8) is achieved at Edge – a fun, spiritually filled Catholic middle school youth ministry! At Edge we:
- want our youth to experience the transforming power of Jesus throughout the Liturgy.
- create a positive, living, breathing experience of our Catholic faith.
- incorporate the Catholic Church’s vision of social justice and peace into the spiritual lives of our young people.
- enter into and transform the culture of their lives with the Good News of Jesus Christ.
A Core Team comprised of adults and teens from high school help lead the program with John Sheridan, the middle school Youth Minister. To meet John and our Core Team, click here! We’re always looking to build up our team, how about joining us?!
As part of the Catholic Church’s mission to evangelize and spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ, the middle school youth are encouraged to invite their friends to Edge Nights, Social Events and Service Projects. Why hog all the fun?! Be a nice friend and share!
Edge is offered year round on Monday nights, 6:30-8pm. For those students who are attending Edge as part of their Faith Formation, there are two options that they may enroll in,
