What is Edge?
Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry program that provides a safe, fun place for youth to find solid Catholic community, to get answers to their questions about faith, and, most importantly, to experience Jesus in a profound and personal way. This program is a space for middle school youth to freely engage with their faith without the expectations or requirements. The only thing we ask is that they come as they are – questions, attitude, and everything in between – and treat one another with Christian charity.
Time: 6:30pm to 8:15pm
Location: Parish Center
As Edge conflicts with our Sunday evening Invited sessions, we are offering two opportunities during each trimester when a parent can elect to have their child attend Edge instead of Invited. This may ONLY be done on the specific dates offered, and a child must be pre-registered to attend the Edge session for the attendance to be counted towards their Invited session. To pre-register your child, please use the button link below.
