Middle/High School Youth Formation

High School Youth Ministry/Formation
- Youth ministry/formation is the parish community's response to its young people's needs. It involves an intentional effort to invite youth to be a part of something greater, to step into the discipleship journey as a part of a community where young people can grow in faith, in their sense of identity and be empowered to live and share the Gospel message.
  Intentional discipleship calls us to encounter Christ in others and live faithfully through service, retreats, conferences, mission trips and more - fostering attitudes of service, worship, and joy!

  Middle School Youth Ministry/Formation
  Catholic Middle School Youth Ministry is the framework for the evangelization, formation, and accompaniment of young adolescents in the Catholic faith during their middle school years, typically ranging from grades 6-8 (ages 11-14)
  
  What is EDGE?
  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 answers the needs of this age group with catechetical, fun, and relevant engagement and provides a foundation for youth to continue onto High School Youth Ministry/Formation,
  
  A Typical EDGE Night
  Gather: Youth are welcomed to EDGE and introduced to the theme of the night through a fun, interactive activity meant to energize them for the evening.
  Proclaim: The night's teaching is presented in a bite-sized 10-12 minute audio-visual presentation relating to the youths' everyday experiences.
  Break/Small Group Discussion: The teaching is followed by a small group activity meant to reinforce the theme. Small group discussion helps to reinforce the teaching and connect it to their daily lives.
  Send: The evening ends with a reflection or prayer service bringing the evening's theme home.
