St. Francis Middle School Youth Ministry
(Grades 6-8)

When young adolescents hit grades six, seven, and eight, lots of crazy things happen; bodies are growing rapidly, reasoning skills increase, boys are starting to like girls, girls are starting to like boys, and both are starting to think about what it's like to be a teen or an adult.  They are not really children anymore, but they are not adults either.  They are in a place we call...THE EDGE.

THE EDGE is a radical new Catholic centered youth ministry aimed at these young adolescents.  THE EDGE is designed to meet their educational, spiritual, emotional, and social needs. It is two hours of socializing, prayer, catechesis, and interactive learning which includes games, skits, music and small group discussion. The teachings all have their basis in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

The Edge will have its kickoff on Sunday, September 12, 2010 after the 5 P.M. Mass.  The EDGE session will be from 6:30 -8:30 P.M. in the Parish Hall.

As part of the Catholic Church's mission to evangelize and spread the gospel message of Jesus Christ, middle school youth are encouraged to go out and bring their friends to THE EDGE.
