EDGE is way more than effective catechesis. It’s Catholic middle school youth ministry that helps young people with life’s most challenging years.
The parish communities of Corpus Christi, St. Joseph and Ss. Peter and Paul have decided to combine the middle school Religious Education into a tri-parish middle school ministry called Edge. Edge is our middle school Religious Education for students in grades 6, 7, and 8th. We meet every Wednesday from 6-7p.m. Because we are tri-parish, we will be switching campuses. Semester one will take place at St. Joseph and Semester two at Corpus Christi (see calendar).
Do you remember when you were in middle school? It was awkward and difficult. Well, that hasn’t changed. However, societal shifts have made the middle school years more difficult than ever. Today, middle school youth are having experiences that were common only with high school students just 15 years ago. That’s a scary thought.
Middle schoolers are on the “edge” of physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual growth. They have questions and are no longer accepting faith simply because it is what their parents believe. They have real questions that need real answers.
Edge offers a comprehensive model of youth ministry that gives the students a safe place to ask the questions and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.
