"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 and social needs. As part of the Catholic Church’s mission to evangelize and spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ, middle school youth are encouraged to go out and 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 and the Eucharist in a deep and more profound way.
• To create a positive experience of the Catholic Church for early adolescents.
• To assist middle school youngsters in gaining an understanding and appreciation of what the Catholic Church teaches and believes.
• To incorporate the Catholic Church’s vision of social justice and peace into the spiritual life of pre-adolescents.
• To develop an understanding in middle school youth that they are a vital and visual presence within the parish community.
Edge Nights
Edge Nights take place Wednesday evenings from 7:30-8:45 pm. We meet in the Parish Hall for fun, fellowship and faith-sharing. All students in seventh through eighth grades are welcome to join us, no matter where you go to school. Please join us, and bring a friend!

We recognize that as parents, you are the first and best teachers of the faith for your children. Please participate in the Edge by working with the Core Team, serving in the resource room, encouraging your children to come or just by asking them how the night went.
