What is The EDGE?
The EDGE is a radical new Catholic centered youth ministry aimed at middle school students. The EDGE is designed to meet their educational, spiritual, emotional & social needs. As part of the Catholic Church’s mission to evangelize & spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ, middle school youth are encouraged to go out & bring their friends to the EDGE.
Goals of the Edge
- To foster a transforming spiritual experience of Jesus through the liturgy, which will allow early adolescents to experience the Word of God & the Eucharist in a deep & more profound way.
- To create a positive experience of the Catholic Church for early adolescents.
- To assist middle school youngsters in gaining an understanding & appreciation of what the Catholic Church teaches & believes.
- To incorporate the Catholic Church’s vision of social justice & peace into the spiritual life of pre-adolescents.
- To develop an understanding in middle school youth that they are a vital & visual presence within the parish community.
