Welcome to EDGE
2023-2024 for Grades 6th through 8th
Catholic Youth Ministry
Sessions are Tuesday Evenings in Room 22 from 6:30 pm – 8 pm
EDGE started Tuesday, September 12th
EDGE is a Catholic youth group that is designed to meet the educational, spiritual, emotional, and social needs of young adolescents. As young adolescents, they are trying to figure out who they are and what they believe. Youth can prepare for sacraments of Baptism and First Communion while attending Edge*.
EDGE NIGHTS cover 3 different categories: Catechetical Nights focus on a specific Church teaching or doctrine (Mary, The Saints, Forms of Prayer, Sacraments, etc.), Issue Nights focus on issues that are prevalent in today’s adolescent culture, and Social Nights are designed to “Break the Ice” and allow the youth to build friendships and feel more at home at our Edge Nights
EDGE SACRAMENT PREP:
Sacrament classes are offered to help your child prepare for receiving her/his sacraments. Year one consists of general knowledge of the Faith, Sacraments, Gifts of the Holy Spirit, Mass, etc. Year two continues to help your child understand the liturgy along with different prayer styles.
FOR PARENTS:
Parental Responsibility Parental involvement is important. Please help your child’s learning by attending Mass regularly, setting aside time to pray, and reading the Bible together at home.
You will be updated on the teachings covered during our Edge night along with discussion questions that you and your child can go over, through email.
