Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry program. It 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.Edge resources speak to the physical, psychological, cognitive, relational, and spiritual maturation of middle school youth.
ALL registered parish families with students in grades 6-8 for the 2022-2023 school year are invited - whether you attend a public, private, Catholic, or home school.
Each session is divided into four parts:
The sacrament of Confirmation is offered at St. Gabriel Church in 9th grade.
8th graders who want to be confirmed are expected to be actively involved in the parish and sacramental life with their families.
Teens are invited and highly encouraged to participate in Edge to build community and journey together in discipleship.
We want your teen to feel welcomed and to belong. We ask that you make a commitment for the sake of the spiritual life of your child, not just as an expectation for Confirmation. We ask that they are present just as if they were involved in their favorite activity. We want your child to be fully alive and joy-filled individuals. We want them to be prepared to face the difficulties of being a teenager knowing they are not alone but that they have God, family, friends and a church community as their firm foundation. Ultimately, we are here to support you in forming the spiritual life of your child and know it is a privilege and honor.
