Welcome to the Edge

What is the Edge?

The Edge at Holy Spirit parish is a Catholic youth ministry program for Jr. High youth in grades 7-8. It is designed to meet the catechetical, educational, spiritual, emotional and social needs of young adolescents.

What makes the Edge unique?

Edge approaches catechesis to Jr. Highers using a dynamic ministry model. During an EDGE Night, the youth are removed from behind classroom desks and brought into a large-group environment for gathering activities, teachings and prayer. In small groups, they break open the teachings and build solid, Christ-centered relationships that allow them to comfortably explore their Catholic faith and make it relevant to their everyday lives. This helps build safe relationships during some of the most formative years of a young adolescent’s life.

With new catechetical themes delivered each year, the youth minister and the Edge core team have a variety of topics to explore and teach to the youth. This creative and experiential approach engages youth to understand Catholic teaching and form their Catholic identity.

When are EDGE Nights?

The Edge Nights are scheduled every other Wednesdays from 7:00-8:30pm beginning in the fall and ending in the spring. Some weeks may very due to holidays and school breaks. (See calendar below)

The 6pm Mass. We invite all youth and their families to attend the 6pm contemporary music Mass every Sunday. We also strongly encourage the youth to get involved as a liturgical minister. Jr. Highers can sign up to be altar servers and ushers.
