What is EDGE you ask?
EDGE is a youth group for junior high students of the parish that meets at IHM on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the school year and runs from September-April.
The EDGE junior high program is all about teens being on the EDGE of their faith. Junior high is an important time of transition.Teens begin to decide whether or not their faith is just their parents faith, or if they will choose to actively make it their own faith as well. EDGE is an opportunity for students to understand what a relationship with Christ looks like and an opportunity to begin to actively participate in the wonderful adventure that life with Christ is! Being at EDGE is a wild ride! EDGE might mean trying to make a pineapple explode one minute, and praying for Jesus to give us the grace to practice loving the people in our lives better the next! EDGE nights are fun opportunities for friendship, games, and most importantly opportunities to practice our faith with like minded teens. EDGE is done best when they give opportunities for fun, mentorship, and time to be guided in personal prayer and understanding of our Catholic faith. This program also includes a once a year retreat opportunity for all middle schoolers and two retreats a year for 8th grade students!
This program is in partnership with our RAP program and is built into students' religious education curriculum if they are a part of the IHM RAP program. However, all students of the parish are welcome to join us anytime, just bring $3 for snacks,the signed liability form below, and email our youth minister to let her know you’re coming! We hope to see you there!
