Edge for 6th-8th grade provides a safe and fun place to find a solid Catholic community, get answers to their questions, and, most importantly, to experience Jesus in a profound and personal way. Ever since Covid, the mindset of our faith and community has changed. Let's take our middle school youth out of their desks and into the beginning of an adventure with Jesus! Edge Ministry is based on the four pillars of the Catechism: Profession of Faith (Creed), Celebration of the Christian Mystery (Sacraments/Liturgy), Life in Christ (Morality/Commandments), and Christian Prayer.
Every Edge night gets students to think about our Catholic Faith through games, social nights, retreats, community involvement, and more. This also provides more to talk about with your whole family!
