  • What is Edge?

    Edge is a Catholic middle school youth ministry program. It provides a safe, fun place for youth to find a 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.

  • Why is Edge Important?

    We all remember that middle school was awkward and difficult. 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.  Not only are they faced with tough realities but they are also in the process of moving from being family-centered to friend-centered.

  • Peers gain greater influence and parental authority is called into question. As they shift socially they are also experiencing tremendous changes emotionally and intellectually. As they wade through all the difficulties of this time of life, they have real questions and need real answers.  As parish members, we believe that if we ignore the unique challenges of our middle school youth, we risk losing them forever.

    Edge Resources are made available to our Youth Ministry team through Lifeteen.  Our Core Members collaborate to personalize the materials and accentuate the content that is most specifically geared to the youth of our parish.
