EDGE NIGHTS
EDGE Nights from Life Teen make up our Religious Education program for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. We meet, on average, two Mondays per month with sessions at both 5-6:15 pm and 6:45-8 pm. The EDGE curriculum works to form young disciples in the Faith, build community, and help them personally encounter Jesus Christ for a lifelong journey toward discipleship.
While our Edge program does require registration at the start of the year (new families to the area always welcome!), ALL middle schoolers are welcome to join our other middle school programming. Click here to see what else we have going on for our young disciples! PLEASE NOTE: BY REGISTERING FOR EDGE NIGHTS, YOU ARE NOT REGISTERING FOR OTHER MIDDLE SCHOOL PROGRAMMING; ALL OTHER EVENTS WILL BE OPEN ATTENDANCE OR HAVE SEPARATE REGISTRATION FORMS.

We encourage families to read our Parent Letters, sent before each Edge session, so you can discuss each topic with your student(s). If your student missed a session, please work with them to complete the at-home lessons, sent following each class so they can stay on track.
Edge: Semester 1Our first semester of Edge kicks off with a social night on being creative, then dives into a series on death and the afterlife. We'll also take some time to talk about the Church year and how our liturgical calendar provides us ongoing opportunities to dive deeper into connection with our Faith and community. And we'll celebrate the birth of Our Lord with a holiday celebration!

Edge: Semester 2Edge semester 2 dives into the seven Sacraments, beautiful opportunities for us to receive Our Father's special graces, strengthen our participation as a member of the universal Church, and better understand his love for us. We also talk about Lent and Easter, and will end with a social night on our role in our faith community!
