Edge is a revolutionary, Catholic ministry
designed to meet the educational, spiritual, emotional, and social
needs of the middle school youth (grades 6,7, and 8).
Edge goes outside the
traditional classroom model in order to attend to not only the
education of their minds
but also the conversion of
their hearts
in faith. They are taught the
tenets of the faith, then shown the love of God through the Church
community – all in one program.
Early adolescence is a critical and
difficult time. The operative word during this time is
CHANGE! It is during this phase that many youth become leery of
their faith and begin to question what they believe. We
particularly want to get them headed in the right direction on
their personal spiritual journey during this time, just as they
are forming more mature opinions and making decisions that will
affect the rest of their lives.
In may respects, middle school youth
are on the “edge” between childhood and adulthood. In the
context of faith, these youth are moving for a child-like
spirituality to an independent ownership of their Catholic faith
and identity.
