This young age is the perfect time to start introducing them to the faith. This can be done in small ways like bringing them to the church during the week, prayer before meals, prayer in the morning or before bed. We have Adoration on Tuesday mornings after the 8 AM Mass Main Church and on the First Friday of the month.
EDGE classes for 6th - 8th Grade meet on Sunday mornings
Families attend 9:30 Mass in English or 12:30 in Spanish
Children attend Faith Formation at 10:45-12:15
Our middle school youth ministry (grades 6th -8th), known as EDGE, is a dynamic youth ministry program designed to meet the education, spiritual, and social needs of middle school youth by creating an environment where the youth are part of a community.
The ministry provides an opportunity to grow in faith by developing a meaningful relationship with Jesus through Liturgy, EDGE sessions, community service, and social activities.
Remember how 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 commonly only faced by high school students just 15 years ago. Threats of violence, availability of drugs and alcohol, and pervasiveness of sex and pornography are the new norm. Not only are they faced with these tough realities, but they are also in the process of moving from being family-centered to friend-centered.
Edge is a fun, safe, and faith-filled atmosphere to guide your child through spiritual formation and begin their intentional discipleship from an early age.
