The EDGE is a Catholic middle school
youth ministry experience created for early adolescents in grades,
six, seven, and eight. The EDGE
is designed to meet the educational, spiritual, emotional,
and social needs of young adolescents. At this age middle
school youth are open to good and bad behaviors as well as
positive and negative ideas. Many of the values and beliefs
that they held as children are now questioned and challenged.
As young adolescents they are trying to figure out who they are
and what they believe. In many respects middle school kids are
on the edge because so much is going on in their lives physically,
mentally, spiritually, and socially. It can be a very stressful and
difficult time for them and their parents.
As a Catholic Community, we are going to give our middle school youth The EDGE they need in life: Jesus, The Word, The Eucharist, and The Church!
1. To foster a transforming spiritual experience of Jesus through the liturgy, this will allow early adolescents to experience the Word of God and the Eucharist in a deeper and more profound way.
2. To create a positive experience of the Catholic Church for early adolescents.
3. To assist middle school youngsters in gaining an understanding and appreciation of what the Catholic Church teaches and believes.
4. To incorporate the Catholic Church’s vision of social justice and peace into the spiritual life of pre-adolescents.
